How sight word sentences build fluency

Children often know a word on a card but freeze when it appears in a line of text. Here each practice page uses one steady five step routine, so your child quickly learns the flow and needs less help each time. First they read two new words and three little sentences. Next they trace a sentence on handwriting lines and copy it. Then they choose three missing words from a word bank. Last, they cut out four to six word cards, arrange them, glue them in place and write the whole sentence.

Going from isolated words to complete lines strengthens reading fluency, word order and early writing together. Review pages work on capital letters, finger spaces and periods. The progress chart and answer key make it easy to see which words are truly secure.
