100 sight words are needed for students to progress in
Prep to Year 2. There is a fun way to learn this. It is
an app that you can download easily.
Out and about sight words app - level 1 - download from the App store.
This fun and free app will give your child a flying start
in literacy by helping them practise their sight words
when they are 'out and about'.
Out and About sight words kit - level 1 is the first in a
series being developed by the Queensland Department
of Education and Training.
It's aimed at Prep to Grade 2 students to help them
master the first 100 sight words to which they are
typically introduced.
Out and About has been designed for parents to give
to young children when they are in transit or waiting
and want to fill the time in a fun and educational way.

Look for your Fridge Magnet that will help
you remind your children about our school
values.

PRIZES FOR BEST
•
•
Ask your child about what they like. If they
suggest the reward, it will be more mo7va7ng.
Make sure the reward is realis7c for you to
give.
If the child becomes bored by use of the
same reward, use a menu of 10 to 15 items to
create variety. When your child meets his or
her behaviour expecta7on, he or she selects
one reward from the menu.
A mystery reward is also very mo7va7ng
for most children.
If a child wants to earn a big reward (eg computer game, movie), you could use a token
system. Each day he or she could earn tokens
to be exchanged later for a bigger reward.
Emphasise social rewards and privileges
over material rewards. Material rewards (eg toys,
money) are expensive and o?en don’t work.
Many children enjoy having 7me to spend with
their parents or carers. Rewards involving 7me
and ac7vi7es with parents or carers can be reinforcing and promote good rela7onships at the
same 7me.
