Sight words: Words that you see

Children start writing after their experience (e.g Today we jumped like Kangaroos.)

Write about what they see, what they experienced. It's about making the lesson meaningful. When children get to experience things, sensorial experiences, going out, etc. They remember it better.

LEA:

Shared Writing (scribing for children, etc.)--->Individual Writing--->Child's Writing

Pre-school: NO marking them down or wrong for wrong spelling, let them "invent spelling", subtly help children produce and spell the words correctly. Let a child freely try to spell certain words and descriptors.

Don't write articles (e.g the plant, a butterfly) instead just write plant or butterfly, as more words can confuse children.

Use descriptors such as (sweet, smelly, crisp) to help children link certain things together (e.g dirt=smelly, pandan=sweet). Descriptors also help introduce new vocabulary (e.g zig-zag, lines and stripes on leaves.)
