  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!)
To ensure that that students retain the words she can use a mixed list strategy to make sure that the words are rotating. This way students are getting consistent practice with all words.

Comments: I do not think that roatating words would be enough to help students remember all the weeks sight words. Children need to apply information to learn it, and using drills will not help them learn the information.
