    OYW Reading Homework

    Conferencing Notes Blank Most teachers, without even thinking much about it, require early elementary students to read anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes a day for “homework." But is that good practice? Dr. Christina Williams shares why teachers should not require families to read at home for homework. When families read because a teacher assigns it, it makes the reading a drudgery—a task we do because we have to—not because we want to. And we never want parents set timers on reading. That’s not something readers do, is it?More importantly, when kids are not yet equipped to decode most every word on the pages of the books they’re “reading,” we set them up for reading difficulties. Listen to this week’s episode to learn why we should not be requiring reading each night as an ongoing homework assignment.

    OYW How to Teach "Sight Words"
    2025/05/09
    Every parent in my school community knows about sight words. They may be called star words, snap words, or something else, but we know what they are. Early childhood classrooms feature from 25 to more than 100 words students must know on sight by the end of the school year. That\'s not a problem-the fluent reading of words. The problem can be in how those words are taught.Does your child say the when the word is and? How about and for the word said? In my first grade classroom, at the beginning of the year, this happens quite frequently. I call it the \"Guess and Go\" syndrome. I believe this kind of reading error is a result of children being taught sight words. They are taught to recall how words look. They are not taught to make the sounds they see, from left to right, across the word. If they had been taught to make the sounds they see, children would not say see when they come to the word look.Teachers often post the students\' sight words on the walls of their classrooms. They review each word frequently. The children are asked to practice using the words in various ways. Eventually, the word sticks in the memories of the students. If it doesn\'t stick quickly enough, parents are asked to make flashcards for the words to review them with their children.Here\'s the problem: When taught to rely on their memory of how words look, children are prone to make errors in their reading.
    So what do I recommend?I believe that we must return to the Sound by Sound approach (left to right) and reserve the Sight Word approach (memorizing words) for the words that do not follow phonics guidelines. Even the words I call \"true sight words\" have the expected initial sounds.
