We start with hearing the word. Before students do this activity, I will read each student their word. They will then use Mote to record themselves using the word in a complete sentence and then listen to their own recording. Kiddos LOVE recording themselves and really take ownership of their work on this slide!
From there, students move on to slide 2 which is counting the sounds in the words. Even with irregular spellings, each letter(s) is associated to a sound. It is our job to teach our littles those sound-letter combinations and then they will be able to independently count the sounds in their own sight words!
Moving on from the number of sounds, students then get to type their word while also writing their word on a dry erase board. Each time the word is written or typed, students are repeating the sounds associated with the spelling. They do this process 3 times.
Finally, students reach the mapping slide. They will use the color dots to represent the sounds in their sight word. They first type their word above the map and then map the word 3 times. The map can be adjusted to 2, 3, or 4 sounds.
I have students repeat the process with their individual sight word lists. I give students 4 words a week and they map one word each day. I love following up mapping with a fun sight word game such as rainbow write or shake and make!
This is a super easy activity that can be assigned to students through Google Classroom. Enjoy!
