Many of these students do not have anyone at home to practice sight words with. If students do practice many of the words are learned incorrectly. Any suggestions on how to help ESOL students practice sight words at home? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) You could provide the student with a dictionary and/or a translating app/ computer program. This may help the student understand what the sight words mean in his/her own language. You could also start a blog or youtube channel where you teach the words in a video format. This would help the student learn the words and the parents may be able to help the student study as well.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Technology is a great tool, but what if the student does not have access?

The student most likely will not use the dictionary especially if they are young.
