Sight words are important!
A sight word is a word that a student can read immediately without sounding out. All kids should have their name as their first sight word. It is an important word and will be for their life so this is a great place to start.Here is a list of sight words that I use. It is a combination of the District Kindergarten Sight Word list combined with the DLM list that the state recommends for all students with intellectual disabilities to know. These words are powerful words and even non -verbal students are given opportunities to learn these because they are the core words that appear on most communication devices. These words are powerful and a person can say so many powerful things with just these few words such as: "I like." "I don't like" "I do it" These are some of the core words that we all used to develop language so they are the core words I am teaching kids to read because of the power they hold.

Here are some great links for sight word practice games because it is always more fun to play than to read cards. It is also always more fun to beat mom or dad too!
