A look inside

Our world map

We look at a map of the world. North America has wide areas of land. An animal moves through a forest. Birds fly over it in the air. Things change as we travel around and far away.

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.

Glow pathways: Pre-K and Kindergarten starters from the first hundred; Grade 1 first hundred, Grade 2 second hundred, Grade 3 third hundred. These grade assignments are Glow’s teaching choices.

All 100 words in Fry’s 2nd 100 group. Ten banks of ten, each divided into three short sessions. Grade placement is a Glow pathway, not an official Fry level.
