The easiest way to practice over 300 high-frequency words in context.
Hot off the press, a new handy tool for helping children as they move from sight word acquisition into reading those words within real text. Sight Words in Sentences replaces the first edition Sight Word Strip Book with a sturdy, full color, color-coded interior and contains five additional sentences per level of sight words, making for more reading practice.
Just the appearance of Sight Words in Sentences will draw the reluctant reader’s attention; the colorful book makes reading look fun!
Here are some of the details about this resource for the busy adult/parent/teacher:
- Includes over 300 high-frequency words
- 200 sentences
- 5 levels of difficulty
- Color-coded for easy location of current level
- Sentences on colored bands for ease of tracking during reading
- Each section lists the sight words included in that section as a convenient reference
- Any words used in the sentences that are not on the list of 300 sight words are included in the front of the book so you can be sure the child can read those words before picking up Sight Words in Sentences.
Uses
- Independent practice. When the child believes he knows a particular list of words, he can grab Sight Words in Sentences and practice the pages that correspond
to his list of words. A partner could listen to him read before the teacher does.
- Teacher testing of sight word fluency. Once the child pronounces herself a master of List A, for instance, and once she’s read that section of Sight Words in Sentences to a friend, the teacher can listen to her read the pages that are coded green to match List A SnapWords™.
- Writing prompts. If a child says he can’t think of a single thing to write about, refer him to Sight Words in Sentences and let him choose a sentence that evokes images in his head. For instance, the photo above shows a page with the sentence “Can it jump like my little dog?” This ambiguous sentence leaves the door wide open to invent what the writer may be talking about… another dog? A flea? A frog? Brainstorm the opening sentence with the child: “My dog is small, but he can jump!”
Check out this super handy resource now! Remember, it corresponds to all five lists of SnapWords™ sight word cards, so you can use it for several children on different reading levels.
