Does your child struggle to remember sight words?  Does your child try to sound it out, and then it just doesn't work because some sight words are undecodable?

It can be very challenging and frustrating for some learners to learn "true" sight words - the ones that are truly undecodable and do not follow regular phonics patterns.  Learning these sight words is a VERY important skill in order to become a good reader.

In this class, I will teach your child these challenging sight words with a method that will actually STICK!  I will use something different than just black and white words and lots of repetition.  Right brain learners need a different strategy to help them learn sight words.  

The key to getting these tricky sight words to stick is to use a unique teaching process where we imbed meaning onto the sight word.  This is done with color and pictures.  
After the learner "takes a picture" of the word word printed on it in picture form, they can later read the word in black and white.  This is because they will "see" in their mind's eye the picture that gives them the name of the word.

This method is very effective, but it does still require a few minutes of practice/review 5 days each week..

The pictures/words I will use in this class have been created by Dianne Craft and I have permission to use them in this class.

This class has one long video.  It begins with a time of teaching, where I will demonstrate the strategy for how to learn "right brain" sight words.  Then, after the teaching time, I will share 20 undecodable "right brain" sight words embedded with pictures and share the sentence/story that goes with them.  

I would recommend choosing 5 words a week to work on.  I am including all 20 in one video, so you can pick and choose which ones you want to learn first.  Or you may just choose to do the first 5 in week one and then the second 5 in week two, and so on.

If your learner needs to learn all 20 of these words, then it will take you 4 weeks to learn all 20 words.  If your child already knows some of these words, feel free to leave them out and choose words that your child doesn't know yet.
And if your learner needs more than one week to learn some of the words, then please feel free to give your child more opportunity and time to learn the words before adding new ones.

I have also included are some games to use for reviewing and practicing the sight words.
