I am excited for the students to begin learning SNAP WORDS (sight words) in kindergarten! We call them "snap words" now because the kindergarteners should be able to read and spell them in a snap. Sight words make up 60% to 85% of the text in children's early reading materials. Studies have shown if students do not have these words in their sight vocabulary, or cannot recognize them instantly, they cannot become fluent readers. Children who have problems with fluency tend to struggle and find reading to be hard work. To ensure that your child is a fluent reader, practicing sight words every day is necessary!
The goal is that every child leaves kindergarten knowing at least 50 words. It’s a big goal, but I am confident that with lots of practice in school and at home, it is possible!
Below is a complete list of all the sight words for the year. If your child ever masters reading and spelling the current words we're working on in class, take a look at the master list and begin working on reading and spelling more words!
This is one of the most exciting times in your child's life, because they are learning so many new things. I know that practicing sight words every night will be beneficial for your child, and I’m looking forward to tracking their progress with sight words this year!
