How do you teach the sight word “away”?
Meet “away” in a real sentence first. Once that sentence makes sense, return to the word and notice exactly what its letters are doing.
“Away” has 4 letters: a-w-a-y. Read “The bird flew away.” and “Please put the blocks away.” aloud, then ask the child to point to “away” before tracing or copying it.
Check “away” at speed without encouraging guesses: show it for two seconds, hide it, and ask for the word in writing before checking each letter.
After “away” is secure alone, the complete Dolch sight words collection places “away” in its Pre-Primer level and provides mixed-list practice.
