Once a student has a good handle on the alphabet, they are ready to learn words. At this point we expect that students know their ABCs and can identify all twenty-six letters well. The next step is to move to sight words. These are words that they commit to memory. In Kindergarten there are just under thirty sight words that students are expected to learn over the course of the year. These worksheets help students begin to learn those learning words that are beyond sight words. We slowly help build up their foundational vocabulary.

How to Help Kindergarteners Start Recognizing Words?

Every child must be taught how to read from a young age. It helps a lot in the language development skills of the child. Reading would add a lot to their understanding of the language. Most kids are fluent readers by the age of 7.


Language is formed through words. It is important that the child starts recognizing words in order to form sentences and move further towards learning the complete language. Teaching the child to recognize words might seem difficult, but you can use the following techniques and tips to make it easier for both, you and the child.


Read Words Aloud


This is one of the most helpful ways to build curiosity in the child for learning more. You can use a storybook and read it aloud to the child. The child will start loving the books and this guarantees success in reading. It will build interest in reading in the child and that is the basic need for learning.


Ask Questions


Asking questions is another great way to make your child understand and pay focus. While reading something to the child, make sure to ask questions related to different words. You can also make the child realize that there are certain words that reappear. You can teach the child the meaning of those reappearing words and then test them later on if they really remember.


While reading a book to the child, you can ask him if he noticed certain pictures. Then, teach them the words used for them.


Decoding


Children must be taught how to decode words to completely understand them. This process involves taking each letter out of the word and then making sounds of those letters to form the complete word.


For example, to decode hat, your child would say individual sounds of the letters h, a, and t.
