The sight word method was developed and made infamous by Edward William Dolch PhD when he published his book, "Problems in Reading".

Your child will love the words, games, and pictures as they flip through the flashcards and games.

These words are often called sight words because unlike many words these 220 words cannot be sounded out and therefore must be learned via sight. These words are utilized in many educational settings to assist language learners in mastering reading skills. There are five levels of words divided up into grade levels: •Pre-School •Kindergarten •First Grade •Second Grade •Third Grade With each successive level the words become more difficult and the words associated with each list are those most often used in the coinciding reading level. The idea is that these are high frequency words in the English language that are not as easy to read phonetically. Thus, learning them by sight improves the child's chances of success in reading. We believe that using sight word books and sight word worksheets is a fantastic method for helping your child achieve that success they deserve. In fact, these methods are used to teach ESL students and new language learners. The Dolch sight words were later expanded by Fry who developed the Fry word list and Fry sight words which are similar to the Dolch words. Being able to quickly read through the Dolch sight word list will place your child or student at a great advantage on spelling, reading, and other tests. Review: Nice beginning for beginners - The instructor may supplement the lessons by kinetic activity or art to demonstrate understanding of the new words learned. For example, jump - have the student literally perform the action for emphasis. The concept may be impressed upon the minds and recalled easier. This book is a good start. Are there more? Review: Reading can improve - This book gives a non reader an opportunity to read words with success on the Kindle like a fluent reader. Being a successful reader improves reading and establish the desire to read more. The more we read are reading can improve. Radifah an special educator for more than 20 years.
