Realizing we really DO need to be learning the high frequency words for both my 1st grader and Kindergartener, I stole the practice from my daughter’s school last year. Hehe, being the unschooler (more for the fact that I hate to pay for too much, I also got the word list from her school).
Now they call them Popcorn Words, we call them Happy Meal Words! See at school when they complete a sheet, they would get a bag of popcorn on Friday. Well, a bag of popcorn is a regular around here, so what would be so special in that? Thankfully, McDonalds has their Happy Meals on Sale every Tuesday and Thursday for $1.99.
We are reviewing these words every day. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we review them with a highlighter. I highlight them if they know them, once the chart is filled, it is HAPPY MEAL time. Yes, I really will just buy the ONE kid a Happy Meal, the others will just have the usual, McDouble, Apple pie and water.
Here is our first set for both K and 1st. Of course, I made these after I made my kids. They are set as 4 by 6, so you can print as a picture and put in a $1 flip book. Or you can print as half a page. I used scrapbook paper to make a folder and then printed as half a page. As they progress, I will staple another page on top, so we can easily review all our sets each week.
Being so sweet! I made a set of blanks so you can make your own. in the same format.
I will have the other sight word list later.
Enjoy!
