Many educators find teaching the majority of sight words in combination with phonics helps the learner understand the context of the word, even if the spelling is irregular. Teaching sight words by strictly memorizing may not work well for every student. For example, if a learner reads the word “this” correctly, respond with positive feedback: “Yes! The word is this.” If a learner reads “this” incorrectly, respond with corrective feedback: “The word is this. Offer students numerous opportunities to practice and receive immediate, specific feedback.Provide brief (i.e., less than 10 minutes per session) but frequent sight word instruction, especially for beginning and struggling readers. Sight Words (sometimes called the Dolch Word List) are some of the most frequently used words in the English language.For instance, “will” and “well” should be introduced in separate lessons as should “on” and “no.” Do not introduce two sight words that are similar or easily confused at the same time. ![]() These words make up approximately 75 of the written language. Introduce new sight words in isolation (i.e., the sight word by itself), but immediately follow this with repeated exposures to the same sight words in books and other text materials. High frequency sight words are commonly used words that children learn to read automatically.Reed suggest the following tips for teaching sight words. Basically, the kids have to complete the blank space with the right words. Sight words are words that appear frequently in most of the text people read, but cant easily be sounded out.

Sight words are traditionally considered those words in the English language that can’t be decoded or sounded out, but rather need to be memorized. In this worksheet, kids should match the words and the color code provided. Having a strong collection of sight words helps to build fluency, which in turn helps with reading comprehension. Sight words can include high frequency words such as and, like, and the that are seen so frequently in text that they are easily memorized. This collection of words is stored in the learner’s visual memory. Sight words are a collection of words your learner memorizes and recognizes without sounding out the letters.

Welcome to our Back to Basics series! In this series we will be exploring some of the foundational methods, practices and terminology for teaching reading. Assign a different sight word unit to your students each week. ![]() Unlike many worlds with animal-folk, there is no morality or judgement ascribed to the various animals of Hæth-a snake is just as capable of being a kindly farmer as a rabbit, and you can’t assume much about someone based on what animal they are. Wanderhome is a world filled with animal-folk and their buggy livestock. Instead, Wanderhome is focused on the lives of ordinary people, and the world that exists for farmers, merchants, and crafts-folk. The game hints at and builds a mythological language around forces like the bitter King of the Floating Mountain, the Lily Rebellion, the Slobbering God and the blade that killed her, and the fall of the great dragons of old, but refuses to elaborate or define them-leaving that exercise to the players through the journey itself. ![]() Wanderhome is set in the wholly original fantasy world of Hæth, inspired by the works of Brian Jacques, Tove Jansson, and Hayao Miyazaki. If you play long enough, eventually your characters will retire or grow apart, and the journey will continue with brand-new travelers and a vast world ahead of you. The months will pass over time and as each season concludes you’ll get to make new choices about your character, advancing them in new directions and helping them grow in ways you didn’t think was possible. And while you can play Wanderhome in as little as 3-4 hours, the longer you stay with Wanderhome the more the world will grow with you. Wanderhome is a GM-agnostic game–while you can play with a Guide facilitating the world, you can also approach it without anyone in charge, where everyone takes equal part in the collaborative conversation. It is also designed to collaboratively set the tone and articulate a version of Hæth that's perfect for your group. ![]() It features a bespoke set of safety mechanics built around empowering players to guide the story however they want, which are used consistently throughout the game. Wanderhome is structured with an emphasis on safety and care, built on my own work designing safety mechanics and constructing alternate safety approaches beyond the industry standards. There are no dice in Wanderhome. Instead, you can inconvenience yourself or step outside your comfort zone in order to get tokens, and then turn around and spend those tokens to tackle larger problems and help make the world a better, kinder space. Once you’ve created your character, you and your fellow travelers guide them through the dreamlike pastoral world of Hæth. From the carefree Ragamuffin to the introverted Poet, from the Guardian and their young ward to the lonely Exile, from the cheerful Dancer to the moody Veteran, there is plenty of space in Wanderhome to imagine every possible world that lives in your heart. Each of these playbooks give you a radically different approach both to navigating the setting and growing over time. Each player will make a character with the help of one of fifteen possible playbooks, making choices about their personality, animal-form, look, and passions. Wanderhome makes use of a unique game system inspired by the No Dice, No Masters engine, developed by Avery Alder and Benjamin Rosenbaum for Dream Askew and Dream Apart. Softcovers and hardcovers are both available! The seasons will change as we play, and we will change with them. No matter what, we’re always travelers-animal-folk who go from village to village and get to see the length and breadth of all the world of Hæth. You might be a tamarin who dances with small and forgotten gods, a leporine mail carrier who relies on moths to get packages where they belong, a little lizard with a big heart and a mysterious past, or a near-endless number of other thrilling possibilities. It is a game filled with grassy fields, mossy shrines, herds of chubby bumblebees, opossums in sundresses, salamanders with suspenders, starry night skies, and the most beautiful sunsets you can imagine. Wanderhome is a pastoral fantasy role-playing game about traveling animal-folk, the world they inhabit, and the way the seasons change. Avery Alder, designer of Monsterhearts and The Quiet Year Wanderhome asks: what if the meadow gets to stay safe and happy this time? What if those opening pages last forever?” But they always gave way to chapters about war, pillaging, and slaughter. The opening pages were full of lavish descriptions of playful merriment. ![]() Gayming Awards Finalist 2022 for Best Tabletop Game “I grew up reading Redwall.
