ABOUT OUR BALL SIGHT WORDS...
Part of kindergarten reading instruction is the introduction and mastery of sight words. I am offering students the opportunity to learn 222 words this year. That’s 11 sets of words. Each set of words is placed on a different type of ball or sports equipment. The first set of ball words are what we call “Baseball Words.” Students will work on this set unit they can read them easily for me. When they have done this successfully, they receive a Baseball World Champ Certificate and a new list of words to master.
The best part of this system is that everyone can work at their own pace. It allows students who may not be as far as others to find success without frustration and likewise allows students who are ready to read and move at a faster pace to do so without becoming bored. Everyone’s successes are celebrated and I hope that students will learn to work with each other to reach their goals.
Along with practicing their words when they finish their work early or have extra time, they are also welcome to practice at home if they choose. For that reason, I will always send home a new ball list when they pass and our lists are all listed on my website, so you can work with them if that is what you choose to do at home.
I really appreciate all you do for your child. Get ready for some exciting Ball Word fun and please contact me with any questions.
