*** IMPROVE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT WITH SIGHT WORD LEARNING ***
Our Sight Word Game FOUR IN A ROW is a classroom favorite used by 1000s of teachers, parents and reading tutors the world over. This TRIED & TRUE reading activity explores the 220 core sight words students need to recognize by sight to become successful, proficient readers.
The words chosen for inclusion in the app are from the Dolch List and they make up about a quarter of the words found in children’s reading materials. Learning these words by sight (See It, Say It) is highly beneficial in developing reading fluency.
Features:
- Cute, colorful, child friendly graphics to attract and hold the attention of young learners.
- Developed in conjunction with reading teachers so you know it is credible.
- Is a collaborative, cooperative game where students play against humans not on their own against a machine.
- Easier assessment by making the internal workings of the beginning reader’s mind ‘visible’. This means you can see successes and areas to work on instantly and can plan your next learning experience from there.
- Teaching tips for parents and teachers included inside the app.
- No printing, cutting or laminating so it saves teachers time and effort :-)
What One Teacher Said:
‘Hi Stewart, Thanks for inviting me to test the app. I’ve been really impressed by how the students in my class engaged with it and learned from it. In fact I was so impressed and ask to I took it home to use with my own first grader. ’
Thanks again.
