Three Easy Sight Word Games

From , former About.com Guide

Beads for Words

Choose a sight word card for the day. As you read to your child, or as she reads independently, she looks for the daily word. Everytime she finds the word, she gets a bead (buy a large sack of beads at the discount store). She can place her beads in a collection jar or box. At the end of the week, let her use her beads to 'buy' a treat or a special privilege.

Speed Reading

Use a stopwatch to time your child as he reads a stack of sight word cards. Challenge him to beat his time!

Word Find Challenge

Challenge your child to find and circle the sight words he knows on a page of a newspaper or magazine.
