I had a kindergartner with the same problem. I started playing High
frequency word Bingo with him. He learned the words to win the game.
He had to say the words and find them on the bingo game card. For
some reason he was more motivated to play the game than spell the
words for a test. I never figured out why but it worked. 8 new words
at a time

It may be he is not ready for this developmentally... Try the Words
Their Way inventory to see where he is...and start the word learning
activities at the appropriate point

I am having trouble helping the little boy I am tutoring with
'sight words'. They just do not stick with him and I feel like I am
tried many different approaches. Week after week he fails his
spelling tests (he has to be able to identify the word and then
spell it) and we work with those words when I tutor him but they
just don't stick with him! He is great at memorizing a sentence
frame (i.e. I like a tractor, I like a boat, etc.) but when asked
to identify tractor, or boat in isolation or in a different context
he has no clue what the word is... HELP?! I feel like I am running
into a brick wall, constantly.
Any input is great appreciated!! :D
