 Directions: Direct the attention of the learners to your flashcards of basic sight words. Flash
the cards by five and model how each word is sounded. Let them read after you, then proceed
by group and individually. (Constant repetition is the key on learning to read basic sight
words.)
Say: I am going to flash some cards to you and I will say each word in every card. You are
going to follow me. Later you read them by yourselves.

 Ask: Anu-ano ang mga ginawa natin sa leksyong ito? Paano natin
binasa ang mga salitang tinatawag na basic sight words?

Answers may vary:

1. We listened to the words said by the teacher.
2. We read the words flashed by the teacher.
3. We identified those words as Basic Sight Words.

Say: Let’s all read what is written on the box below:

Basic Sight Words are learned by sight instead of by sounding

them out because they don’t follow the rules of spelling. Constant
repetition is the key to mastering these words like a, all, am, an, are, at,
and many more.

Ask: How do we read the basic sight words?

Basic Sight Words are words that don’t follow the rules of spelling. They are learned
by sight instead of by sounding them out. These words have to be memorized because
