Sight Words

August 20, 2008

The Sight Word Buddy for Windows is free and does have to be downloaded.  I have done so with no viral issues and it functions great.  It’s actually very simple.  You hear a sight word and there are three "arms" with a word and the right one has to be clicked.  It will show results, but they can’t be printed.  Zion did 120 in about 15 minutes today with 95% accuracy (5 missed words).  It’s setup where you can alternate between pre-primer, primer, first grade, second grade and third grade drills. We focused on pre-primer and primer words today.  It required no explanation on what to do and Zion really liked it.
