This set of resources will get you started with sight words using it for consolidation or intervention. The screener makes differentiation easy by identifying ability groups and the variety in this product means all students will progress at their own rate. It contains:

• 2 Sets of Word Cards (9 to a page - one set underlined)
• 100 Tag Set Cards (4 sets with 25 cards to a page)
• Small Cards on one A4 Sheet (all 100 words on the one page) - student's own record
• Class Overviews (4 overviews to identify skill deficits and differentiate learning for a small group)
• Individual Record Sheet to track progress
• + Games

This is a generous freebie because I so believe in teaching sight words and phonics simultaneously for a balanced reading program. It probably doesn't matter too much which sight list you choose as long as you have a system in place to ensure your students make progress. I have used the FRY'S SIGHT WORDS list for over 30 years and have never had a student who didn't learn to read when phonics and sight words were targeted simultaneously. The Fry's words are based on solid research and were updated in 1996. They will generalise to reading anything and aren't restricted to a commercial reading program.

The Individual Record Sheet allows you to screen with the student using the Tag Set. I have the tag set laminated in groups of 25 and collected in order on a ring. Screening is very quick done this way. You (or a trained teacher aide) transfer the data to the Class Overview so you can identify ability groups and target skill deficits accordingly. The A4 sheet of small cards is a one-page record that the student can use to track progress. It's very motivating for the student to fill up this sheet and see their progress.

I use games to provide consolidation and fun and I have included free blank board games to target specific skill deficits if you need them. I even send these home when I know parents want to be involved. It's the ideal way to ensure new learning is consolidated in long term memory through constant repetition. Some learners need this level of intensity.

There are blank Board Games included.
