Teaching Sight Words- Using Multisensory Sight Word Activities
I absolutely love the Orton Gillingham approach to sight words, my kindergartners do too ! If you are familiar with the program, you know that it includes crossing hemispheres with arm tapping, finger sliding, finger tracing and writing. This approach to “red words”, those that you have to STOP and think about , uses a multi sensory approach to learn these words that cannot always be decoded easily. In the rest of this post, I will give you some effective and fun ways to get the kids moving and memorizing those sight words.
