Sight words are the most commonly used words in the English language. Accordingly, a majority of the words that we read in a text are considered sight words. For example, “I”, “you”, and “the” account for ten percent of all words in printed English. As such, students learning to read greatly benefit by being able to instantly recognize and accurately read these words in order to build fluency and comprehension.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
In order for learning to take place, it is crucial that children feel happy and safe at school.

During homeschooling, the children in the 3rd and 4th grade needed to dress-up according to a different theme every English day with Miss Melles. Then they had to take a photo and post it in the class' Teams channel. Some of the topics were Red day, XXL-day, 70s-day, Sporty day and Ancient Rome day. It was always so much fun to dress up in the early morning before class starts. Maybe we can keep this activity going when we are back at school again?
