She notices that the students know the words on the day she assesses, but they are quickly forgotten afterward. What are some methods that she can implement to ensure that the students retain the words? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Sight words are an important part of instruction and pre-reading. I have use flash cards, games, modeling/spelling, drawing words, and other research based activities to help students learn and retain sight word knowledge. Once sight words have been learned, it is important to continue challenging the students by increasing simple sight words to phrases and then onto reading simple books.
