How to Introduce:
Gather students around the magnet board.
Display all sight word magnet cards on the magnet board.
Call students up one at a time and ask them to spell each sight word using an EXPO marker.
Model how to use a pointer when finished writing to CHANT each sight word ["t-h-e, t-h-e, the, the, the"].
Differentiating:
Have students write the words they've spelled.
