Creating Word Detectives

We all want our children to be word detectives.  Here’s a fun way to encourage your child to analyze words while also building sight word vocabulary.

I’m Thinking of a Word – sight word game

-Have your child take out their sight word bag.  

-Place the sight words in front of you.

-Select a word and give a clue so your child can “find” the word.

 

Some clues you may use are:

  • I’m thinking of a word that has two letters and starts with the letter u. (sight word: up)
  • I’m thinking of a word that has three letters and starts like the word cat.  (sight word: bat)
  • I’m thinking of a word that has four letters and rhymes with hook. (sight word: look)
