To teach sight words to our kindergarten students, I try to use as many ways as possible to get them practicing. We trace, write, build, make, and anything else we can think of! Those little hands have to keep busy, and they learn best when they have hands-on centers that they can interact with.

I try to keep this in mind when I am creating new activities for our kindergarten class, and I think that Sight Word Laundry is great for this.
