This webpage tests kids on their sight words (using the Fry List). You (or a good reader in the class) clicks “Yes” or “No” after the reader reads each word. There are 25 words in each set. At the end of 25 words, you can Print the results. Make sure you put Name and Date on the top!

Fry Words 1-25 have a “100″ in the link. Change that to “200″ for the next set, “300″ for the next set, and so on.

Sight Word Shockwave

We were looking for a computer-based way to determine which sight words we needed to teach which students. This one met our needs. Basic sight words are flashed one at a time, and you (or parent volunteer, or best reader) answers Yes or No depending if the child got it right or not. At the end, you print out how the child did.

LEA BSV (Language Experience Approach, Basic Sight Vocabulary)
Kids with high verbal intelligences will have a tough time learning basic sight words (went, they, into) by rote. But if you ask them to learn the sight words in context –in their own stories– they learn them quick and easily.

The boy who drew this picture is a first grader and fascinated by undersea stuff as well as dinosaurs. He did the picture first, then told me about the picture, which I wrote down. I read it back to him and he added more. I then asked him to read it, where he got 1 point for each word he read and I got 1 point for each word he couldn’t read yet. I then underlined some basic sight words and I pointed to each one, encouraging him to read the sentence it was in. We kept repeating this process until he knew the words when I covered up the sentence.
