[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most sight words you can phonetically decode. 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] If your school is doing phonetic words as sight words, they're doing it wrong - or at least very inefficiently. Sight words are good for getting the kids up and reading with the high-frequency non-phonetic words. (/th/ words are often sight words because kids haven't learned the /th/ blend yet, so them isn't phonetic when you try to sound out /t/ /h/)[/quote]
