The Effects of Sight Word Development Using Technology and Best Practices

Abstract

In this action research study, I measured students’ ability to read and spell high-frequency words, then completed twelve lessons and activities using technology to support learning. Students used Seesaw to manipulate words, write sentences using the words in context and practiced spelling each word. After the twelve lessons students were tested on their ability to read and spell the same high-frequency words that were used in their daily activities. Through this research students recognition of high frequency words and spelling of them improved.
