Tell the students we are going to work on sight words. Review sight words before reading cards. Give all the students a "I have, who has" sight word card. Role model reading cards for the students, by pointing the words as I read from the card and give a card to Ms. Lauder and Ms. Emily to help role model point to words on the card.

Have students read the sight words to help with review of words before reading cards to build self esteem prior to reading cards aloud. Praise them for reading the sight words aloud.

Display sight words on chart paper for visual cue.

Input: Explain to students we will be reviewing sight words and writing a story with the sight words in a journal.
