However let's keep in mind most of the words are highly decodable if students are taught spelling patterns and rules. If you read the book Reading in the Brain, scientists have discovered that whole word reading is not the most efficient for the brain. Even sight words can be taught using phonics or spelling patterns or etimology. Sight words shouldn't be treated as words completely different than the rest of our language.

Is it okay if I borrow the idea to make my own punch cards (we use dolch sight words but our lists are a bit different)? <br /><br />When students earn a punch for learning the word, do you punch over the word or next to it? <br /><br />You have such wonderful ideas in this post! I'm so fortunate to have come across it!<br /><br />Thanks!<br />KatieKatie Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16616964758544677242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017952394211536997.post-69080064285405762542016-01-12T14:55:48.784-08:002016-01-12T14:55:48.784-08:00I found this video on YouTube for sight words.

I just printed the personal word wall pages, the punch cards, the BANG game, and the word collector notebook. I'm thinking of taking the word collector notebook cover page and gluing it to little half sized notebooks from the dollar store. We don't get a lot of copies at my school and I could just write the word in the upper corner and have them glue the words on the pages. Thank you so so much for sharing these great things!
