Learning high-frequency sight words is very important to your child’s ability to read fluently. Some words cannot be decoded easily, and your child should know them by sight.
In order to motivate your child to learn sight words, our class will be using an exciting program called “Rainbow Words.” There are six groups of words, one group for each color of the rainbow. When your child is able to read all of the words in a color group, he or she will receive an award certificate for that color group and a small treat. If your child masters all of the rainbow words, he or she will get a certificate and prize.
Below is a chart of the words in each color group and when they will be tested. Words will only be tested on or after the date stated, not before. Please help us with this important endeavor!
