Tips For Blending Sight Word Games into Your Child’s Learning 

Child and mother learning on an i-pad together.

How to Add Sight Word Games to Your Child’s Learning Routine

  1. Establish a Routine

    Incorporate digital sight word gameplay into the daily learning schedule. This could be a short session after homework or a playful activity before dinner. Consistency helps children develop a habit and a positive attitude toward learning.
  1. Combine it with Other Activities

    Complement digital learning with hands-on sight word activities to help commit new information to memory. For example, after playing a digital sight word game, encourage children to write down the words they learned using crayons or markers and adding an illustration of the word or using the word in a silly sentence. 
  1. Encourage Reflective Discussion

    When your child finishes their sight word games, discuss the new words they learned. Ask your child to use the words in sentences or point them out in a storybook. This can reinforce their learning and helps keep you involved in their studies.
  1. Set Achievable Goals

    Establish simple, clear objectives like “learn five new sight words a week” and use sight word games as a way to help achieve these goals. Celebrating achievements can motivate further learning and offering encouragement when your child struggles with a new word can help them work through it.
