Word BoxingĪnother technique to help kids remember words is to “box” the letters. Use these as flashcards for your child to go over their sight words each day. Using any color will help the word stand out visually and in your child’s memory. Have your child color the paper to give it a blue background. Write only one word per piece of paper or notecard. Once you’ve chosen one or two words, write them clearly, in large, thick lowercase letters on a piece of paper or notecard.
