  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 numerous methods that could be implemented to ensure that students retain previously learned site words. One idea that is specifically good for kindergartens is to make a song with each site word. I previously interned in a class where the teacher taught the sign language of each site word and the students would sing the site words as they did the accompanying sign. The song was very simplistic and redundant with each site word therefore it was easy for students to learn.

Comments: Very creative! I love using music to teach because the students don't realize how the information becomes part of their long term memory as they keep singing the song.

Comments: I like how you suggested to make a song out of the words. I know that I would remember the words if there was a song.
