A Hands-on Approach to Sight Words Practice

Students will enjoy practicing phonics skills with the whimsical Reading Pals characters included in this book. This teaching resource provides opportunities for repeated reading practice that leads to fluent and confident readers. Each book includes:

  • 12 full-color Reading Pals with punch-out text frames designed to isolate letters, sounds, and words
  • Multilevel activity pages
  • Reproducibles of Reading Pals and suggested activities


This book targets recognition of basic high frequency words that children need to recognize "on sight" at automatic levels. The multilevel text pages support phonics knowledge, sight word practice and reading fluency at the K and 1st grade levels.

The text moves gradually from single word phrases to phrases and sentences to increase children's ability to phrase or "chunk" text into meaningful units.

This book includes both one-window and two-window text frames in the shape of delightful animal characters, which are used to reinforce concepts about print and to stress left-to-right and top-to-bottom reading practice.

Each Reading Pal contains pop-out features, which form windows that allow children to confine their text view to one or two words or sentence chunks at a time. This Reading Pal approach is supported by research indicating that the human brain embraces knowledge presented in novel ways. The 12 clever Reading Pals included in this book will stimulate young readers' desire to practice their newly learned skills in a fun way!

teaching supplies - readingLiteracy Through Dramatic Play Centers

Grade Level: Preschool - First Grade
Price: $21.99
Product #: 1003378
Sample Pages

Qty:

This resource includes instructions for creating 19 indoor and outdoor centers, patterns for props, and ideas for gathering and storing materials.

Taking on roles in dramatic play centers allows young children to build vocabulary, develop phonemic and print awareness, count and measure, plan and organize, negotiate and resolve conflicts, and more!

The dramatic play themes suggested are divided into indoor and outdoor centers, but all can be done indoors. When an outdoor center is underway, more emphasis will be placed on verbal and listening skills. However, suggestions are given for related activities that can be done in the classroom to reinforce the concepts.

For the most part, the centers are recreations of places children frequent with their families. A few centers offer views into worlds not a part of most of our everyday lives, but they are very exciting nonetheless. By creating different, real-life scenarios, the larger world comes to children a little bit at a time. In turn, they use their imaginations and creativity to expand the concepts being presented to them. Literacy and numeracy skills, practiced as a part of real-life situations, become real to children.

This resource offers educators and their students many exciting opportunities to explore the world from their very own rooms. Children can take on new roles and interact as different characters through the props, writing materials, and manipulatives provided. Dramatic play offers educators a method of challenging children to learn through practical experience. Dramatic play is esteem-building, educational, and fun!

Testimonials

I am a stay at home mom who values education very much, and these resources have been able to help me start my child's education early in order to give her a head start before she even enters into school. - Heather L.

The resources I received will help me tremendously with reading skills. I was amazed at how quickly I received my order. - Annette H.

My son needed some additional work with his fine motor skills to prepare him for Kindergarten next year. We work out of the books I ordered. He does his "homework" when my older son is completing his after school. He loves it! It makes him feel like a big boy. I was amazed that my order arrived two days after I placed it, especially because it was the Holiday season. - Dawn M.

I purchased the full color Kindergarten file folder games, and my students love them. We use them daily during our literacy groups. Your service was great! - Cindy M.

They provide a variety of ways to reach different students and allow me to vary my activities year-to-year. - Staci M.

I have used all the materials with my Kdg. class and found them to be so appropriate. The children enjoy them. - Jennifer C.
