Sounding Out the Sight Words: A Guide to Teaching the Dolch Words through Phonics

With these instant lessons, rather than teaching one new sight word each day for your child to memorize, you teach one bite-size phonics concept each day. The initial inspiration and structure were cindy's; she wanted to help her daughter master the sight words taught by her school and, Uncovering the Logic of English, after reading Denise's book, created this series of "instant lessons" to help educators and parents teach the Dolch words logically through phonics using the concepts she had learned.

With the methodical approach in these lessons, you can deliver sound instruction while refreshing your own understanding of the concepts necessary to read these common words, providing expert coaching as your student learns to read and spell with ease. Sounding out the sight words introduces the phonetic concepts at work in the 220 Dolch words and 95 Dolch nouns, a total of 315 of our most common words, in sixty-six simple lessons.

Each lesson is designed for a busy parent or teacher to deliver in two to ten minutes, simply by reading aloud the brief lesson on the back and helping the student sound out the sample words on the front. In sixty-six lessons, instead of learning sixty-six dolch words, students gain the tools to read all 315 as well as thousands of other words! Sounding Out the Sight Words was created in collaboration between Logic of English author Denise Eide and parent Cindy Kringelis.
