Megan Allison
Welcome!
I just wanted to take a a minute to tell you a little bit about myself. This year (2022-2023) will be my 16th year at PCCS and I have really enjoyed every minute of my time here.
I live in Shelby, NC and have all my life aside from 6 months in Boone, NC but I could not handle the cold. I love teaching and have wanted to be a teacher since I was in kindergarten, maybe even before. I received my bachelors from Gardner-Webb University in Elementary Education and then my masters as a reading specialist from Benedictine University. I have a fabulous little girl named Riana who is starting sixth grade this year, she is my world, we also have a Morkie named Riley with a big personality and a cat named Raja! I love my family and enjoy the time I get to spend with them. I have been blessed to have a job that I really love! We love to travel and especially going to Disney! My biggest hobby besides spending time with my daughter is reading, I hope that I can help your child develop a love of reading this year!

Here are some idea to practice sight words:
1. Using a highlighter or crayon help your child find their sight words in print.
2. Read to your child, pointing to the words so that he sees the words in books.
3. Put magnetic letters on the refrigerator or on a metal cookie sheet. Let your child make the words.
4. Have your child use glitter glue, puffy paint, markers, or playdoh to write the sight words.
5. Put sand on a paper plate. Have your child practice tracing sight words in the sand.
6. Put shaving cream on a plate or table. Spread the cream. Have your child write the sight words in shaving cream.
7. Put hair gel in a zip lock bag. Have your child write the letters of the sight words in the gel.
8. Write the sight words on sticky notes and place them on a wall. Turn down and the lights and give your child a flashlight. Have your child shine the light on the words and read each word. A cheap laser pointer from the dollar store works too.
9. Jump, hop, clap, or tap out the letter of the sight word (t-h-e the).
10. Hang a list of the words you are practicing in a place that your child will see every day. Practice reading the words any chance you get.
