Practice Recognizing Sight Words Around Town

Going out to the mall or supermarket? Make a list of the twenty sight words your children are struggling to recognize. (Be sure they are words you are likely to find at your destination.) As you shop, ask your children to look for words on the list. With each one found, give a reward of ten cents. At the end of the trip, give your kids up to $2 to spend on whatever they'd like. This is especially successful in places with a dollar section or clearance aisle.
