  Case: Sight Words
Mrs. Smith is a Kindergarten teacher and she is currently sending home weekly sight word lists with her students. 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!)
There are multiple solutions for this problem. I find it much more effective when the students use their sight words from that week to make a sentence using the sight words. For example, I can see the ___. Then having the students sound out an ending word to finish the sentence. "I can see the cat." Then allowing them to draw a picture about their sentence underneath their sight words
