Here it is, at long last: Agent M's Spotlight! I bet you thought this was never coming out, didn't you?
Oh ye of little faith.
Remember when I wrote that post about the Agents and their worksheets? Well, every time I put these worksheets in Agent M's sight word Workbox, she literally cheers: "Yes! My favorite thing!"

| Don't be fooled by her 'couldn't care less' expression. She's really excited. On the inside. |
These worksheets from the blog Confessions of a Homeschooler help Agent M. with her sight word recognition. Sight words - also known as high frequency words - are some of the most commonly used words in print, and children are encouraged to memorize them so they can automatically recognize them in print without needing decoding strategies. The worksheets have Agent M. writing each sight word multiple times, reading a sentence in which the sight word is used, writing the sentence out, then cutting up letters at the bottom of the page and gluing them into boxes to spell the sight word.

She does these at least twice a week, but if I let her she'd breeze through the whole collection in a day. The cutting and pasting bit is the best part, she says, but she also gets really excited when she does the punctuation at the end of the sentences. A well-formed question mark is cause for celebration.
Check back next week to read about Agent V and one of his favorite Workbox activities!
God bless,
Mia
