[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Most sight words you can phonetically decode. [/b]We got other flash cards and wrote each phoneme (sound chunk) on a glashcard and made sure our kid knew the sound. So if the word was them - we had three flash cards - th, e, m. And told our kid when the t and the h come together it makes the /th/ sound. Then practiced blending them. Only after that did we do the whole word on the original card. [/quote] No you can't. That's why they're "sight" words. OP, I wouldn't try to sound them out or "chunk" them with your kid. That will cause a lot of frustration. Sight word bingo or go fish, writing the words in different forms--shaving cream on table, white board, magnetic tiles, sky writing. Try writing a word on your kids back to see if he can guess the word. Then you switch, see if you can guess the word.[/quote]
