Your list can be in the order of your phonics skills. L2: Swap Two Sounds Swap letters in two-sound words to build new words. Sight Word 60 works with any sight word list. L1: Mat Match Compare two sounds (phonemes) in a pair of words, and practice matching the sounds to their alphabet letters. The decoding, blending, segmenting, and spelling of the words are what allows the brain to store the word. We did this too for years until we learned more and now we are doing better!) and learn it. So you can’t just repeat the word a bunch of times (it’s ok. And here’s why this is important: the brain does not store words visually. What’s important to remember is to teach multiple strategies and provide all the tools to read and write. Teaching automaticity with sight words isn’t bad. Since Sight Word 60 gives you more than that we’re providing the necessary practice so that the words can be orthographically mapped into students’ memory. Students need to decode a word 1-8 times, according to research. This is so important because the research tells us that decoding is the most efficient way to build automaticity. YES! Decoding sight words is possible and should be used along with automaticity. How Each List was Created: List A Dolch PP + Fry’s first 100 List B Dolch P + Fry’s first 100 List C Dolch 1. While most of the words on the list are true to the original lists, a few words have been moved from one list to another, based on their difficulty level. The goal is for all high-frequency words to become sight words and Sight Word 60 is how we make that happen! Plus students also get practice decoding the words so they’re getting multiple tools and strategies for being good readers. the two lists were combined to create 5 new sight word lists. A few high-impact, engaging minutes to teach high-frequency words so they become sight words. The premise of Sight Word 60 is that in the course of a school week, 5 days, students get more than 60 exposures to each high-frequency word and that happens in just a few minutes each day. And thus was born Sight Word 60 and yes, Sight Word 60 IS aligned with the science of reading. I knew I was failing my students and wanted to fix it. The kids were just along for the ride! My students always did ok and learned some words but they didn’t retain the words well and I just knew there was a better way. We did all kinds of random things and we never had a direction and plan for teaching sight words. So, you see, what had happened was, I stunk at teaching sight words.
