Anyhow, however they come (and go), I do appreciate all the freebies you have put out there. I’d mourn their loss if I hadn’t already downloaded them. I loved how easy they were to work in amidst the chaos (and they worked!) so much that I looked around a few times to see if you had a donate box anywhere. As I’ve spent the last year trying to keep one 2nd grader on track, catch up the other 2nd grader that got overlooked in public school, trying to figure out what my 1st grader did and did not learn in kindergarten, and keep 2 toddlers out of trouble, those old readers -paired with various sight word worksheets- have been about 90% of my 5yo language arts for the past year (excuse the run on sentence). My 6th child was born when my oldest was still 5 (apparently possible), so the pure simplicity of them made them accessible to me in a way the new ones would have been overwhelming. These look nice and I fully support your conviction to do things in line with your conscience, but I must confess your old sight word books were one of my favorite things I’ve used in homeschooling. By the way, I’m really excited to see intelligent thinkers stepping up and seeing the changes that need to be made with English teaching. After over 12 months of fretting over my list, I’m pretty happy with the result. because those are needed fairly quickly when reading Phonics/CVC books.
There are some words that I left on my list, like VC words in, am, an, up, it etc. Then I removed Magic E words, colors, and numbers for the same reason. “Why would we put CVC words on our list, when those are already taught separately”, I thought. One of my goals was to have a more concise list. I also noticed that I have 16 words that you don’t. I compared my list (210 words) with your list and came up some glaring shortcomings on my end, in my opinion (school, friend, each, people, etc). My wife recently purchased your 240 sight word books and lessons, and I will be happy to use them daily. At one point I was attempting to teach all 1000 Fry words, totally unnecessary in my opinion. So, sight words are very important to me, and I have spent too much time trying to come up with the perfect list using Fry, Dolch, and other lists I’ve come across. My wife and I teach English in a foreign country, and reading is what we emphasize among the 8 skills of English that we teach. Watch the video to see a sight word lesson in action … Connected text can be decodable sentences or books. Have your learner read connected text.Has and his are great words to read alongside is because they are short vowel words with an s that represents the the /z/ sound. If possible, have your learner read related words.In is, we spell /i/ with i and /z/ with s. Call attention to any unexpected spelling. For example, in the word is, there are two phonemes: /i/ and /z/. Name the individual phonemes (sounds) in the word.Name the new word, and have your learner repeat it. Next, we need to make sure our learners are ready to sound out words.Instead, our goal is to integrate sight word learning with phonics instruction.
Our goal is not to teach loads of sight words as whole words, because kids need to connect the sounds to letters when reading.

How to teach high frequency words to young learners Then we teach learners to learn the tricky parts by heart. We call attention to the parts of the word that are phonetic (and there’s usually at least 1-2 of them). What about words that we CAN’T sound out? Integrating high-frequency words into phonics lessons allows students to make sense of spelling patterns for these words. In order for kids’ brains to make new words a part of their permanent sight word vocabulary (the fancy word for this is orthographic mapping), they need to connect the sounds to the letters. (Those will soon disappear from the site and my shop.)īut research is telling us that this isn’t how the brain learns to read. This is why I used to share a collection of sight word books that taught the words through repeated exposure. I used to think that when we teach sight words to young readers, we should teach them as whole words. It’s time to rethink how we teach sight words. We want our readers to know these words instantly as they work to become fluent readers. That’s the definition I’ll be using here. Sight words can also refer to words that our readers encounter frequently when reading. When reading researchers use the term sight words, they’re referring to the words that a reader recognizes instantly, on sight.
