Ahhhh-summer.  Love those three months of sun and fun.  I’m always a little worried, however, coming back to school hoping and hoping that not too many children fell victim to the “summer slide.”   Although school is not in session, summer offers tons of opportunities for practicing skills in an active and fun way.  I especially love incorporating active movement into learning.  Here are 8 super activities for practicing sight words during the summer! 1.  Beach Balls- Using a Sharpie permanent marker, write sight words on a beach ball.  Have your child throw the ball in the air and then catch the ball.  Have her read the words that touch her hand. 2.  Hopscotch-  Hopscotch with a twist!  Create an old fashioned hopscotch board
