  7. What are Dolch sight words? • “Pesky Sight Words” as Roxanne would say • Sight words: commonly used words • Young children are encouraged to memorize as a whole by sight • Automatically recognized in print without decoding

  8. DHH Students and Sight Words • Multiple meaning sight words are a challenge for emergent readers • Sight words may not be depicted in ASL or in pictures • Miscues prevent the reader from fully understanding the text

  9. Multiple Meaning Words

  10. Common Core State Standards • CCSSaddress knowledge of sight words, reading comprehension skills, and understanding of multiple meanings of words

  11. Common core connection • Language Anchor Standard • Vocabulary Acquisition and Use:4. Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases by using context clues, analyzing meaningful word parts, and consulting general and specialized reference materials, as appropriate

  12. Fairview Learning LLC • Students learn multiple meanings and multiple signs of sight words • To truly comprehend print, D/HH students must sign the Dolch words using ASL concepts • Adapted Dolch Sight Words included in the 5 Program Components http://www.fairviewlearning.com/

  13. “Fairview’s unique program provides individuals the literacy tools to construct mental, linguistic frameworks. These frameworks, specific to each user, allow access and increasing fluency in English and ASL, and ease the movement between the two languages.”

  18. Little Stories • 43 stories to support D/HH students’ internalization of multiple meaning sight words in context • Standards-based tool to integrate into curriculum • Adaptable to fit different needs of different D/HH classrooms • 5 Dolch Words per story including multiple meanings for each targeted sight word • Stories are in levels instead of grades based on Dolch words • Note* stories are based on Dolch word level, NOT on the actual reading level of the passage

  19. Worksheets • Literal and inferential questions • Utilizes ASL (expressive and receptive) and English (reading and writing) • Citing text-based evidence • Multi-media resources to access information • Flexible tool to adapt with any teaching style, curriculum or current unit

  20. Worksheets: Back to ccss • CCSS emphasizes that all students need to be 21st Century ready by utilizing technology and developing skills in the 4 C’s- • Communication • Collaboration • Critical Thinking • Creativity • “Students employ technology thoughtfully to enhance their reading, writing, speaking and listening and language use. They tailor their searches online to acquire useful information efficiently and they integrate what they learn through technology with what they learn offline.” (www.cde.ca.gov)
