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!) I found, with my own little boy, that working sightwords into every day conversation GREATLY impacted his understanding AND retention of words. So that when assessments did occur, it wasn't new, unimportant information. It was just every day conversation. I would keep lists up around the house, as well as in my car, and even after he had been tested on words, I would ask questions using those words in an applicable situation.
