This class is for students who need to practice automaticity reading the first 100 words on Fry's list, which are the words that readers find most often when reading. It helps with fluency and speed. Students can benefit most if they already know most of the words by sight and just need to brush up on fast recognition. This allows the child to concentrate on reading comprehension without having to stop and decode each word. The Fry Sight Words lists are more modern lists of words than the Dolch list, and was extended to capture the most common 1,000 words. Dr. Edward B. Fry developed this expanded list in 1957 (and updated it in 1980), based on the most common words to appear in reading materials used in school. Learning all 1,000 words in the Fry list would equip a child to read about 90% of the words in a typical book, newspaper, or website. The Fry Sight Word List is made up of the most frequently used words in children's books, novels, articles and textbooks. The words are ranked in order of frequency.
Learning Goals
Students will improve sight word fluency for the 1st 100 words on Fry's lists.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am a retired kindergarten teacher (31 years) and love teaching early academic skills as well as various crafts/fun projects. Art and Music are also some of my favorite subjects. I believe children learn best by using as many senses as possible (sight, hearing, tasting, touching, smelling). I especially enjoy teaching in units. For example, If I am teaching about the octopus, I like to integrate science, reading, math, social studies as well as art and music all together. I love to see a child's face and eyes light up when (s)he realize (s)he just learned or accomplished something new.
My personal passion is my family. My husband of 47 years and I especially enjoy our 2 daughters, their husbands, and 5 grandchildren along with our 2 dogs.Reviews
