This cute little book is made up of 45 flash cards. Each page has one sight word on an adorable kitten or cat photograph. The cards are designed to keep your child engaged with the cute photo while allowing them to practice critical sight words. These flash cards are designed to have few, if any context clues to help your child learn to read.
These Flash Cards Feature:
-Large Photographs designed for larger iPads and Kindles
-Serif Font (Times New Roman) which is easier to read than a San-Serif font (like Ariel)
-Few, if any, context clues to ensure your child is reading the word and not guessing based on the photograph
Words in This Lesson:
So what are sight words? Many of the most frequently used words in English are difficult to sound out and instead, need to be recognized on “sight” for a child to become a proficient reader. Sight words can be known by other names as well including High-frequency words, Dolch words (named after Edward William Dolch, PhD who first compiled the list in 1936), Fry words (named after Dr. Edward B. Fry's who updated the list in 1996), Instant words, Star words and more! The faster your child can recognize these critical words, the better, so practice, practice, practice!
