  Case: Sight Words
I teach kindergarten and sight words are an important part of our instruction. We must have the support of our parents to keep this going. We try to help each child reach the 100 sight word club but many students do not have the help at home they need. It is a difficult problem. It is not fair to the students when it is their parents that are not helping them. How can we motivate our parents to study nightly?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In my classroom, I have a most supportive parent award. Based on the data from the assessment of the sight words, parents can win a $5 gift card to Walmart. I know it is not much, but parents are competitive and love winning.
