Monday: Learn the ASL sight word, read and recognize the word, use letter magnets to practice spelling, practice fingerspelling the word, use playdough to roll out the letters, trace and write the word.
Tuesday: Find word inside a word search, write the word and answer questions, sight word fishing, practice tracing, and practice writing.
Wednesday: Trace, find, write, spell, search and dip and dab the sight word with a q-tip and paint.
Thursday: Touch and read on the dots while reading, practice reading with the weekly early reader, cut and put together a sight word snap cube card and ASL letter tiles.
Friday: Play read and color game, sight word bingo and assessment.

My Thoughts On Sight Words Of The Week
I really enjoyed Sight Words Of The Week program from The Crafty Classroom. I loved how it incorporates ASL sign language into each week which is a great refresher for my daughter as I have been teaching her sign language since she was a baby. I also like all the different activities like painting, cube building, playdough, etc. The cost is affordable for the download, however, printing could get expensive depending on if you print in color or in black and white. Overall, I think it is a great program and I will continue to use it with my kids.
