Teaching Sight Words for UKG Students | Tricky Words for Kindergarten

Making Phonics Fun - Magic ‘Tricky’ Word Reveal! Charlie’s been working hard trying to learn his ‘tricky’ or, high-frequency, ‘sight’ words. We usually like to sing songs to help him remember these or use flash cards. Today, I thought we’d try to make it a little bit more fun. ✏️ I wrote the words on a piece of paper 📝 using a white wax crayon 🖍 (you could also try using an unlit candle 🕯) ✏️ I watered down a little poster paint 🎨 ✏️Charlie picked a piece of paper then picked a paint colour and gently brushed some of the paint over the page ✏️Since wax is oil-based and the paint is water based, then don’t mix, so, the ‘invisible’ tricky word is revealed! ✏️To keep things going, as a challenge, he then had to read the word aloud, match it to the correct flash card, find the magnetic letters to spell it, write it down 3 times, then tell me a sentence with the word in it! The more ways you can practice the same thing and the more fun you can make it, the more likely they are to actually remember it! Charlie absolutely loved this and thought it was, “So cool!” When the words ‘magically’ appeared. He kept asking to do another one and kept going, staying engaged, for much longer than we would normally spend on this. All in all, after 113 days spent trying to homeschool in lockdown for us (yes, really! 😩), I’m definitely taking this as a win! 🙌🏻😃 #threebeansplaytime #3beansplaytime #trickywords #sightwords #twinklparents #homelearningfun #homelearning #homelearningideas #phonics #phonicsfun #funlearning #homeschooling #eyfsideas #eyfsinspiration #eyfsactivities https://www.instagram.com/p/CCUqGrWHvTF/?igshid=tzt99770n4w0

As it’s still the ‘Easter Holidays’, we haven’t been working too hard this week. But, today, the Beans decided to do a quick brush up on their ‘tricky words’ (so called because they cannot be decoded using phonics alone). Holly is learning her Phase 2 tricky words and Charlie was recapping Phase 3. I printed these flash cards off the @twinklresources website and set up a really simple tuff tray for them with the words around the sides and magnetic letters in the middle. They had to sort through the letters to spell out each word. Once they’d finished, they read the words back to me and, since we were outside, they used their chalk board to practice writing them out too. We used a similar set-up to this to practice our phonics a couple of weeks ago. They seemed to really enjoy the format and took a lot from the activity, so, I thought I’d keep trying it again (with different words and sounds) whilst it’s proving to be effective for us! @twinklparents @twinklirelandearlyyears #threebeansplaytime #3beansplaytime #twinklresources #twinklparents #trickywords #tufftray #tufftrayideas #learningathome #athomelearning #funlearning #funlearningathome https://www.instagram.com/p/B_BDrwoH_uj/?igshid=1devfd8mjt9el
