100 Write-and-Learn Sight Word Practice Pages: Engaging Reproducible Activity Pages That Help Kids Recognize, Write, and Really LEARN the Top 100 High-Frequency Words That are Key to Reading Success Paperback – February 1, 2002

As a 15+ years of experience teaching K-2 and a mom who homeschooled my youngest, this is an ecellent resource for children learning sight words. I used this book to supplement my now first grader's learning to recognize high frequency words when he was 3 years old. We used it regularly when he was 3 years old. He was an early reader. I used resources such as this one that made learning fun and kinesthetic. Yes, you will have to help your child form and write the sentences. But, heeelllllo! This is for the reviewers who said they did not think the sentences were appropriate: ALL children learning to read and spell high frequency words need lots of support in this area. But you don't withhold teaching your child/student how to write sentences just because they cannot write them on their own yet! And for the MANY reviewers who complained about the fact that they should not have made the pages back to back to where you have to copy each sheet in order for the child to be able to cut the words, uhm please read the description "REPRODUCIBLES". That means that you make a copy. Also, fyi, most of these Scholastic books are marketed or made for classroom teachers so the assumption is that teachers will incorporate them into their lessons for an entire classroom-so, copies are expected. One more thing, if they were not back to back, then this workbook would be TWICE the price. I like that I was able to buy it for under $12. One more thing, a few people stated that it was boring for their students. I agree that some students may get bored. But I found , as a classroom teacher, it was an Excellent homework resource for my first graders. Because it was always the same format, after a month or so, my students were able to do it independently at home with the exception of the sentence which still required some parent support. However, my on grade level and above grade level students were able to write their own sentences independently by about a month or so. One really neat bonus, as a classroom teacher, is that it involved my students' parents in teaching their child how to form sentences, thereby students learned the concept of a sentence, a period and how sentences start with capital letters in conjunction with learning how to spell and write HF words in an accelerated pace. Highly Recommend this resource to supplement your instruction.

A great curriculum for teaching sight words and beginning writing.

My kid's school actually uses worksheets similar to these so I thoughts I would try it for my daughter (rising K) and son (rising 2nd grader) as summer help. My son has a learning disability, but completes the sheets in just a few minutes per page. We is able to read the instructions and come up with sentences on his own. This is the perfect support for him. It allows us to test his ability to come up with sentences on his own, spelling, word recognition and punctuation. I'm not a teacher, but this was a good find! I have decided that since my daughter is still learning to read I will do further reviw of sight words with other tools (to build her confidence) and ease her into this book in 2 weeks.

This book is being used for homeschooling curriculum for 1st grade. We use the sight word pages to work on high frequency words and boost her reading. Every page has room for the student to write the word several times, a sentence for them to read, and a space for the student to write their own sentence using the word of the day.The only downside is that it is the same format for every single word - all 100 of them. To keep it exciting, we alternate our writing on a dry erase board instead of the pages. She thinks the dry erase board is really fun!Even with the repetitive format, I like the additional practice she is getting on handwriting.FYI, this is geared to teachers and is marked 'reproducible'. That means it is meant to be photocopied for each student in a class. You wouldn't want to use the pages from the workbook directly because there are letters that need to be cut and pasted. By cutting out the front page's letters, you'd be destroying the letters to be used on the back page.I like the reproducible option because the book can be used with multiple children or sold in good condition when we are finished with it.

I like this book as its focus is on writing activities that help students remember and build a sight word lexicon. This book may become boring for young students as the focus is on writing sight words at the word and sentence level. Nonetheless, I still find writing vital in developing literacy skills in beginning readers. To take the edge off of this activities, I use this book in conjunction with 100 Words Kids Need to read by 1st Grade which focuses on fun learning activities that engage students in the learning process. In one lesson, I introduce a word using this text, and in the next lesson, I reinforce the word using a sight word page from 100 Write and Learn Sight Words Practice Pages. I have been using these two texts for a little over a month now and can see a noticeable difference in my students' ability to learn and remember sight words. Both texts have been a confidence builder for this student.

I teach preschool and let me tell you that the preschool curriculum is pretty rigorous! According to the curriculum my district uses the students should be introduced to 19 high frequency words. These worksheets give students the opportunity to practice and reinforce those words. There are also color words in his workbook so I think when I introduce and review colors I will have them do the worksheet so they get used to seeing words, making the letter formation, and writing from left to right. The worksheet has the word at the bottom of he page, students are supposed to cut out he letters and glue them at an area in the center of the worksheet. I like this feature because sometimes the kids get tired of just writing the cutting and gluing make it tactile which hopefully reinforces to word.The worksheet pages are not quite 81/2 by 11 but I enlarge them slightly.
