** These words are used/learned throughout the year.  They help the children learn how to decode the words they see when they are reading.  We focus on them a little in the beginning of the year and then really study them during the second part of the year.

 

The top word in each list is a sight word.  By changing the beginning sound or adding a new first letter, more words can be made.  These are what we call word families.  They look alike, but they are a little different.  They are just like our own families.  We look like our parents, but not exactly like them.
