Fry sight words in this lesson.
Introduce a few words at a time and revisit them across 3 short sessions. Choose a starting point using words and phonics patterns the learner has already been taught.
Welcome to our neighborhood
Our neighborhood has a new family. A boy tells me his name. His mother waves to us from the house. One man holds a lamp while two men carry boxes. The family is making a new home.
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.
