5.0 out of 5 stars Ready to Use Activities and Blackline Masters
, September 26, 2000

By	Victoria C Smith ( Bakersfield, CA ~ USA ) - See all my reviews

Need to add a little pizazz to your phonics lessons and sight words drills?

"Learning Sight Words is Easy" is an outstanding resource filled with ready-to-use activities and wonderful blackline masters for mini books, word searches, bingo games, flash cards, take home letters, and more. There's a suggested order of instruction for each of the sets of ten words, and lots of great suggestions and teaching tips.

A brand-new book to add to your professional bookshelf. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and easy ways to practice sight words...., August 13, 2002

By	School Faery "miss_smurfi" (Brea, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This book gives you a routine of 5 or so activities for a group of 10 words at a time. These include word searches, mini-books, fill in the blank, and my students' favorite: sight word bingo. It is easy to use because it is all reproducibles, including the bingo boards. It does not share any teaching tips or theories, but if you're just looking for easy sight-word reproducibles it can be quite useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Help Raise Your Child's Reading Level, December 28, 2001

By	Devery M. Wallace "YREVED" (Roxboro, NC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My Child's 1st grade teacher told us that he had not progressed during the 1st grading period. He was still at a 3/4 reading level. I purchased this book and began working with my child 5 night's a week for 6 weeks. We worked through all 100 words just in time for his 2nd grading period assessment. He jumped to a level of 9/10!
