What can be done to help the student make the connection and be able to read words in a sentence? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I have had this same trouble in my class as well with a repeating student. I decided to look up a variety of sight word games in order to make it fun and different instead of just going by the list to have them memorize the words. They play these games when I have small group time. Another thing I have them do is I will give them a few sight words and have them make sentences out of those words. Assisting the students in making the sentences themselves will help them make the connection that the words make up sentences. From there you could make up sentences as they learn new sight words, that contain only sight words that they have learned. This helped a lot with my students.                 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 Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I would have students make personal connections to the words!

The use of games is almost always helpful for students. I also really like the idea of having the students create their own sentences using the sight words.
