Often called sight words because readers need to know them at a glance, high-frequency words can prove challenging for students. While phonics instruction is important for all readers, it is also essential for older students whose underdeveloped reading skills impede content-area learning. These resources offers dozens of practice pages that give struggling readers multiple opportunities to recognize, review, and reinforce must-know phonics elements, such as consonants, long and short vowels, blends, digraphs, common tricky words (such as which, listen, enough, and answer) and more. With this practice, students dramatically improve their ability to recognize sound-spelling relationships and use these skills to accurately and efficiently decode words, which in turn boosts fluency and comprehension. Students also develop automatic recognition of dozens and dozens of words and become more fluent readers with repeated practice. This bundle includes 2 books, Extra Practice for Struggling Readers: Phonics and Extra Practice for Struggling Readers: High-Frequency Words.
