| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of sending sight word boxes and a list of activities home with students on the number of sight words they were able to retain by the end of the kindergarten school year. The participants in this study consisted of twenty-one kindergarten students enrolled at an elementary school in Maryland. The participants were provided with sight word instruction and practice aligned with the Common Core State Standards as well as the local school system’s English Language Arts curriculum. In addition to instruction, students were provided with sight word boxes (plastic index card boxes), sight word cards (index cards with the sight word written on them), and a list of ten activities for practicing sight words at home. The analysis of data revealed the interventions had a positive impact on the retention of sight words. The number of sight words read fluently increased when the pre-and post-test data were compared. | en_US |
