Abstract
This study determined the effect of practicing high frequency words everyday to help students memorize them. The strategy I used to do this is using sight word bracelets to write down the word the student is struggling with. Sight words are very important for first graders because this is the year they are learning to read and write on their own and they need to know these words to do so. The participants in the interview were 5 first grade students. The goal for the 5 students involved in this study was to get past all of their kindergaten and first grade sight words. This goal was accomplished and more goals were set. The only limitation to achieve the goals were attendance. Overall, the process has been very effective in the first grade classroom I am in and I will continue to use this strategy in the future.

Sight Word Bracelets and Memorization
This study determined the effect of practicing high frequency words everyday to help students memorize them. The strategy I used to do this is using sight word bracelets to write down the word the student is struggling with. Sight words are very important for first graders because this is the year they are learning to read and write on their own and they need to know these words to do so. The participants in the interview were 5 first grade students. The goal for the 5 students involved in this study was to get past all of their kindergaten and first grade sight words. This goal was accomplished and more goals were set. The only limitation to achieve the goals were attendance. Overall, the process has been very effective in the first grade classroom I am in and I will continue to use this strategy in the future.
