Veronica Navarro

I want to extend my warmest welcome to West Heritage, first grade class community! My name is Veronica Navarro and I am so excited for this super school year to start! Most importantly, I am very thrilled to be your teacher! I know this is going to be a fun filled year full of lots of learning and I can't wait to see what this year has in store for us. I can hardly wait to learn all about you, but first here's a little bit about myself.
I have been teaching for 24 years. 5 in L.A. county and 19 years here in Etiwanda School District. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and doggies. I love to travel, exercise, shop, and ride outdoors. 
I eagerly await working with your child this year to provide the best first grade experience possible.
I am looking forward to a wonderful and learning filled year!

Sight Words

Sight Words Also Known as Bubble Gum Words

Believe it or not, approximately 50% of all reading texts are made up of 100 words!  These high frequency words are often referred to as "sight words" because readers need to identify them instantly, on sight.  The kids like to call them "Bubble Gum Word Lists" because they get a piece of bubble gum every time they pass a list of 10 words. Memorizing sight words significantly increases early reading fluency and diminishes frustration.  

Click on the link below to view a list of the top 300 sight words.  In first grade, we want our students to read at least 100 sight words by the 100th day of school, but that is the minimum!   We study our lists in many ways, but the best way is to just spend a few minutes every night practicing.  Most first graders make it well past 100 words!
