for
Technology
Integra;on
• Sight
words
are
something
that
all
students
will
use,
especially
those
in
the
younger
grades
K-­‐2.
Sight
words
are
words
we
see
in
our
everyday
reading
and
wri;ng.
They
include
words
such
as:
the,
a,
is,
of
to,
and,
I,
you,
that.
These
words
are
used
very
frequently
and
can
be
hard
for
students
to
sound
out
or
for
them
to
illustrate
in
their
heads.
Because
these
types
of
words
cannot
be
illustrated,
technology
is
important
for
students
to
be
able
to
hear
the
word
and
to
do
ac;vi;es
with
them
on
an
Ipad
or
computer.
Technology
games
can
be
very
useful
in
helping
students
understand
the
word
and
being
able
to
hear
it
out.
By
integra;ng
technology,
students
will
be
able
to
see
the
word,
hear
it,
and
prac;ce
wri;ng
it
as
well
as
using
it
in
sentences.
