Teaching Sight Words at UWCEC!

In the realm of early education, sight words hold a significant place in laying the foundation for reading and literacy. These are the words that children are encouraged to recognize instantly, without the need to decode them letter by letter. From “the” to “and,” sight words are fundamental building blocks in a child’s journey toward fluent reading.

So, at UWCEC students are taught different sight words through power point presentations. Teachers show them different sentences using the same sight word. They ensure that all children repeat the sentences at least 3 – 5 times every day for a better understanding.  They spell the sight words and emphasis is given on that word when used in sentences.

Such activities lay a strong foundation for reading fluency, comprehension, and lifelong learning. With the right support and guidance from educators and parents, young learners can embark on a journey filled with the joy and empowerment of reading.
