Often called “sight words” because readers need to know them at a glance, high-frequency words can prove challenging for students. This resource offers dozens of practice pages that give older struggling readers multiple opportunities to review and really learn common tricky words-such as which, listen, enough, and answer-that aren"t easily decodable and don"t follow the usual sound-spelling relationships. When students can identify high-frequency words quickly and accurately, their reading fluency increases, and their reading comprehension improves. With repeated practice, students develop automatic recognition of dozens and dozens of words and become more fluent readers.

Finally, a fun, colorful, easy-to-use phonics program that is comprehension centered!

This 320-page book is based on the scientific findings of the National Reading Commission. It emphasizes sound/spelling patterns, vocabulary, and comprehension, not memorization.

The colorful game-like activities engage students through listening, thinking, speaking, and reading.

Fun-Time Phonics! teaches students that spoken words are composed of individual sounds (phonemes), and those sounds are written with letters.

Armed with this understanding of how print works as a code, reading becomes much easier than other more complicated approaches.

This program ensures complete phonemic awareness mastery by focusing on vowel isolation, which is often the most challenging–but most important–part of learning to read.

Once students grasp how vowels influence the sound of the consonants and control the meaning of the words, they are only a step away from fluency.
