9/7/11: Rock 'N Learn Sight Words Giveaway and Review

CONTEST CLOSED - CONGRATULATIONS KIMBERLY!

If you have a pre school aged child or older you have heard of Sight Words.  Until Evan entered Kindergarten I had never heard of the term Sight Words but now I am very familiar with them.  They are words that are used frequently that children should be able to recognize and know by Sight.  I don't know about you, but we are always trying to find creative ways to teach our kids Sight Words.  I personally learn with associations, so when I started with my son I made up flashcards with the sight words and would use pictures to help.  For example the word Up, I put balloons on the back.  We had recently watched the movie Up where the man makes his house float with balloons so Evan quickly identified with this and learned this sight word.  I was lucky enough to be able to work with the people at Rock 'N Learn and receive one of their newer DVDs especially for Sight Words!  How perfect. 

My kids enjoyed watching this video and got up and danced.  I liked how they had a visual with each word which helps kids learn.  They would say the word, show it on the screen and also perform and action to display it.  I loved that!  Plus with the 2 kids they made it a little competition trying to say the words first.  They really responded to it and it was good for both my son who just started 1st grade and my daughter who is in pre school.
