A look inside

Yesterday's outing

Today we eat at home. Yesterday I ate at the park. I ran to the bus for a ride. My friend came too.

Teacher-supported practice text. An adult reads untaught words; learners read taught targets and discuss the meaning. This is not a controlled decodable passage.

From a few words to a little discovery.

The complete lesson pairs this reading sample with teacher-led word practice, conversation, and a student response. Its printable materials include word cards for revisiting the same words and a separate answer key for the grown-up.

Use Glow Sight Words as an optional practice companion alongside books and explicit reading instruction. The printable lesson also works on its own.

Conventional Dolch list labels are navigation aids; choose by readiness and what has been taught. The separate noun list is not part of this lesson release.
