Teacher Guide & Tips
- Cut along the thick lines before introducing the cards, and introduce just 3 to 5 words at a time so students can build recognition without becoming overwhelmed.
- Discussion question: Which of these words could we sound out, and which ones don't follow the usual sound rules, like "the" or "was"? Why might it help to memorize them by sight?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have the student read the sentence on the back first, then point to and read the target word within the context before reading the card alone.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write their own sentence for each word, or to find each word in a book they're reading and count how many times it appears on one page.
- Plan about 10 minutes per session, with a few sessions per week, and track which words students read quickly and which still need practice.
