We use the skywriting method to learn the new words.  Use them in a sentence at home.  When practicing multiple sight words try a fun game, for example make it a Sight Word Hunt.   Place words around the house and have your child try to find them and read the words to you.
Continue to practice letter sounds.  www.Starfall.com is a good website to practice each letter sound.
