This idea can be used to help individual children learn sight word vocabulary.

Instructions:

• Make large flash cards, using words of your choice (suited to the child's level of ability).
• Laminate these flash cards, or cover them in plastic. When this is done, the cards are ready to use with the children.
• First, you should say the word on card. Now, let the child make and small "ropes" out of clay.
• They can then use the "ropes" to trace over the laminated sight word card. This will give a tactile stimulus to the child and enhance the learning.
