 Goals:

• Students will match target words.
• Students will find target words on command.
• Students will read target words.

Note: Five is the recommended number of words that most students can learn comfortably at one time.  Adjust this number for your students’ needs.

Materials:

• Flashcards of targeted sight words (two duplicate sets)
• Checklist of targeted sight words for each student
• Practice worksheets for targeted sight words
• Writing materials for each student

Preparation:

• Create practice worksheets for targeted sight words: word search puzzle, find and circle, matching, and sentences (using only previously mastered words).
• Create flashcards for target vocabulary.

Procedure:

• Introduce targeted words using flashcards.  Show the word and read it aloud.  Have the student(s) repeat the word and write it.
• Use the two sets of flashcards to play “Memory”: Mix up the words and spread them out face down on the table.  Take turns looking at two and reading them.  If they match, pick them up and score a point.  If they do not match, return them to their face-down positions.
• Spread both sets of flashcards on the table face up.  Challenge students to find and touch the ones that you call out as quickly as possible.
• Have the students complete the related practice worksheets.

Evaluation:

• Check each individual’s mastery of the target words privately.  Show a word and see if the student can read it in isolation.  Keep records on the checklist.
