Enduring Understanding: Sight words are words that students should be able to read at first glance. They are the most common
words used in the English language. Having a strong base of sight word knowledge allows students to apply their use in context
to help them understand the surrounding text. The third-grade students increase their abilities to read aloud with fluency and
comprehension.

What worked well in your lesson?
Having the students practice their sight words in competition form made them think quickly and read the words off at a fast pace, just as
sight words are meant to be read.
What modifications did you make in your instruction for varying abilities of students based on your formative assessments?
Because there were many words on the Bingo game board, I made the font larger so that it was easier to read and focus on the words
individually.
What follow-up instruction related to your objectives is needed either for remediation or extension?
The students need to continue being assessed on their sight words, so that when they have mastered a certain set of words, they can then add
words to the list that they need to practice.
What would you still like to learn that might help you to better meet the diverse needs of your students?
I would like to learn various ways of reaching the same goal for the entire class while catering to different learning styles.
