Phonics are great, but they only get beginning readers so far. Some words don't "follow the rules" of letters and sounds, and must therefore be memorized to support fluency and comprehension. Many programs teach sight words in isolation using drill and practice techniques which often cause a loss of student interest and a poor rate of retention. Sight Word Poems With Sidney is different! This amazing program teaches sight words in the context of 24 kid-friendly poems that target 10 sight words each. Done in a shared reading format, this program takes learners from lists of easy 2-letter words through a series of progressively more challenging words using a variety of engaging techniques! With complete lesson plans, practice pages, a pre/post assessment, student poem book pages, student flash card sets, a paper bag frog puppet template, teacher testimonials, and a certificate of completion, this research based program is a fresh and exciting way to teach sight words. Perfect for classroom teachers and homeschooling parents!
