Fry sight words in this lesson.
Words to revisit: came · went · should · must
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.
The makers' studio
Use your hand to point to a place in the picture. Set three paper shapes there to form a boat. Try a change. We work on the design, then play with its story.
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.
