The second 50 of the 100 most frequently used words in reading and writing are taught in this book. Each sight word is introduced individually, with a variety of activities that ask children to recognize, read, write, spell, and use the word in context. Flash cards are provided for reinforcement and testing. With this comprehensive approach, students who complete these activities are sure to recognize these sight words!
What I thought:
I dragged my wallet to the educational store recently to find materials for my struggling reader. I was not sure what I would find but I knew I would find it a plenty. I have this strange obsession with workbooks. Oddly, my homeschool method does not employ a lot of them but I certainly love to look through them and purchase them even if I only use a few lessons or so.
One workbook I came across was by Teacher Created Resources. I love this brand. I also love this workbook. It challenges the child to focus on each sight word so the child learns to recognize it. The book uses auditory, kinesthetic and visual modalities to teach sight words. The book is new and I love new books! I’m such a sucker for a brand new workbook even more so than just workbooks.
At any rate, let’s look at the word “about”. If you go to the page where “about” is being studied you will find two pages with 9 mini lessons on the word “about” or whichever word you chose for that day. Lesson 1 has the word listed several times. The child is to point to the word and say the word aloud. The second lesson the child is to trace the word with her finger and say the word three times. As the lessons go on, the child is challenged to study the word in different ways. This truly makes this workbook a stand out among the rest. It is hands on and effective.
