The learning of sight words is extremely important on the kindergarten level.  Throughout the year, we study several words each month.  Knowing these words will help the students enter formal reading instruction easier as they are able to recognize, write and read many of the words they will encounter in print.

As they move through the year,  these words will make their way into books, poems and stories.  Knowing the words already makes it more comfortable for them as the words appear on a daily basis.

To  make it enjoyable and more developementally appropriate, our kindergarten utilizes videos on youtube, Jack Hartman, Dr. Jean, Storybots, to name a few.

Each day, we sing, dance and spell words.  This fun approach creates an atmosphere of little risk and results in quick learning that truly sticks.
