Sight words are the words that occur most frequently in English, often cannot be sounded out phonetically, and frequently have no content to help children remember them. Fluency in sight words can help children read faster and more confidently. This book targets 90 Dolch words along with 12 concrete nouns that provide the general theme for the book (Grade 2 theme: My Community and Friends); each unit focuses on 17 sight words and reviews the words from previous units. Activities gradually transition from recognizing the form of the word to using in context. Included activities help children become more familiar as they use visual skills and thinking skills to complete sentences, finish mazes by making a sentence, do word searches, unscramble words, and more. Answer key included. Grade 2. 96 classroom-reproducible pages, softcover.
