    WORD ATTACK SKILLS

    PROGRAM

    With a basic understanding of phonics - the relationship between letters and sounds, most beginning readers are able to decode unfamiliar words that follow the usual spelling rules.

    Alternatively, sight words are commonly used words in reading that do not follow the usual letter sound patterns and therefore cannot be deciphered by sounded out. You must see them and say them automatically.

    A child’s ability to read fluently and comprehend what is being read can be impacted by having poor knowledge of sight words.
    The Sight Words/Word Attack Skills program facilitates this process and assists children in reading more confidently, fluently and accurately by being taught the most common sight words through engaging games and activities.

    Students will learn how to read:

  • Irregular words that can not be sounded out, such as: said, because, two, whose

  • Words that are governed by more complex spelling rules, such as: great, friend, does

  • Longer, more complex words that are of high interest to the learner, for example, words such as:

  • Spiderman, Darth Vader, The Little Mermaid
