Here\u2019s a little history linked to the Dolch Sight Words. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edward William Dolch brought the concept of sight words based on the most frequently used words in children\u2019s books in those days and published the list of such words in a journal article in 1936. He published his book by the name Problems in Reading in 1948. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dolch provided a list of sight words for each stage – Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, First Grade, Second Grade and Third Grade Sight Words list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Dolch, along with the kindergarten sight words<\/a>, first graders are also expected to get a sound grip on the next set of sight words known as the first grade sight words. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sight Word Games and Activities for First Grade Kids<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    No child would want to learn something sitting for hours and memorizing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, the same child would also never say a no to playing fun games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why not utilize this fact to help our kids learn the sight words much more easily with exciting activities and games? Listed below are a few ideas for such activities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. One Sight of the Chocolate<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n

      Kids would love to play any game that involves chocolates, won\u2019t they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Here, they would get more familiar with the sight words using the chocolates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Write sight words on different papers and arrange them properly on a table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Then you have to speak any one of the sight words and kids have to place the chocolate on the top of that sight word card.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The one who is able to place the chocolates correctly and in the least time wins the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Flip and Win<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n

      Place the sight words flashcards on a plane surface. Flip them such that the face where the sight word is written is hidden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Remember that you have to make identical pairs of sight words. For example, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      two flashcards with \u201cfrom\u201d written on them, two other flashcards with \u201cagain\u201d written on them, so on and so forth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Initially, place 8-10 such flashcards and increase the number depending upon the difficulty level you want the game to have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The player will flip any one of the cards and try to find out its identical flashcard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      That is, if the player flipped and found \u201cagain\u201d on the card, he\/she will search for the other card with the same sight word written on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The player will keep flipping until he\/she finds the match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The more number of tries one needs to take in finding the match, the lesser one scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
