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!) Active participation of a parent in their child's education is desired and optimal for a students successful achievement of goals in many cases. Unfortunately, that is one of the many factors that as teachers we cannot control in our student's lives. What we can control is the strategies, interventions, and methodology in our teaching to help those students who have little or not parental involvement in their child's education. A kindergartner can be given ownership of their learning process but not on a large scale. It is best to incorporate an Instructional Aid into the classroom to work with small groups on reinforcement of the sight words. The use of flashcards, picture cards, and even playing sight word Bingo will not only provide an element of fun in the classroom but reinforces sight word usage and activities. Regarding the parents, continue to communicate with them the importance of working with their child at home in order to attain mastery. Encourage the student to ask their parents for help; sometimes this is the catalyst that is needed for parents to realize that it is a team effort in educating their child. |
