Looks familiar? If your child struggles with sight words, try these cards created by a dyslexia tutor. Sight words cannot be "sounded out"; they must be memorized. Right-brained children often struggle with memorization. These specific picture cues have been tested and proven effective, as they allow the child to use right-brain strength to recall a picture in place of a letter.
The cards do all the work and are easy and fun. They can be used by themselves or as part of any reading or spelling program. Kids love them, as do parents, teachers and tutors. Great for right-brained learners and
emerging readers.
The 25 cards in Set 1 are:
any, are, eat, for, from, goes, have, how, love, many, Mr., Mrs., now, of, one, out, said, say/says, she, they, to, too, two, want, you.
READING INSTRUCTIONS:
Work on recognition & reading before spelling.
1. Show your child the picture and say the word.
2. Read aloud the sentence on the back of the card.
3. Explain the meaning of the word and discuss the context using the picture and sentence.
4. Make up your own sentence(s) with the word.
5. Ask your child to make one up too.
Do three cards per session. When the entire set has been mastered, move on to the next set.
