SnapWords™ Cards are essentials for teaching sight word recognition to a wide variety of learners, including right brained and visual learners, and those labeled with ADD/ ADHD, autism, or dyslexia.
"These snap words cards have changed my daughter's life! She is dyslexic and nothing else was working to help her learn sight words. These cards were perfect - she often makes the hand movements or repeats the helpful sentence from the card when trying to remember what a word is. She went from only knowing a few words to knowing almost all of the sight words. Thank you!!!" --Jessica R.
SnapWords™ List A Pocket Chart Cards
Use these pocket chart cards in centers, for partner review, sentence building or independent practice. Also effective in pocket charts for sentence-building, sentence or phrase unscramble, or review.
"These have really helped my struggling 7 year old. The heavy phonics-based programs just weren't working for him but this lets him master whole words in manageable amounts. Great along with the Sight Words in Sentences." --Paige F.
"Great for struggling readers!" --Jennifer D.
The SnapWords™ Spelling Dictionary is packed with all the images, body motions and sentences from the original SnapWords™ cards, alphabetized for ease of use.
"I found this resource provides an effective alternative way to teach sight words that works well for all students, but especially low progress readers who struggle with learning and applying these words to their reading and writing. The picture-cues attached to the sight words, action and sentence/story context make them so much more memorable for students than the usual practice exercises. They actually enjoy learning this way and motivation is so important. I also use the sight word cards for lessons and the word wall that are in this series from Child1st Publications. Students can also use the picture cued examples as a model for making their own word banks." --Margo S.
This kit equips parents with tools to effectively boost a child’s reading ability without resorting to flashcard drill and memorization.
"I ordered this product to use with my child who has an autism spectrum disorder and is in kindergarten. We have been using the products for a couple of weeks and I and his teacher are noticing an improvement in his learning of sight words already. The pictures help him remember and he is starting to recognize sight words in our bedtime stories. Thank you for creating this wonderful product." --Stephanie B.

Thanks for your comments; and you are absolutely right! Children are wired to love learning, and if we teach them in ways that are consistent with how they learn best, they truly learn more quickly, in a more lasting way, and yes, our work as teachers and parents is made easy!
