Sight Word Lesson for the Day in the video:
Today your little reader will learn 2 sight words. These two sight words will be the basis of your student's learning and will build your students confidence.
Our philosophy for teaching reading is 1) Build confidence. Get excited and show enthusiasm that your student can read the words good, morning! If you reinforce nothing else, just reinforce them reading their new words...practice, practice, practice. A confident reader loves to read. Get your reader excited about reading!

What Teachers and Parents are Saying...
"I have taught Kindergarten for 11 years. I came across this program last year and immediately loved it! It is so child-friendly, teacher-friendly, and perfectly aligned to our curriculum! It even includes a Reading Readiness Assessment, sight word flash cards, and step-by-step tutorials on how to use the resources. After beginning this program with my students i the middle of the year, I saw a huge growth in their word recognition and fluency. My End of Year scores for Reading were the highest they have ever been in my 11 years of teaching! I would highly recommend this program for all teachers who wants to see their students develop a love of reading!"
-Kelly, Kindergarten Teacher
We LOVE your site! It has made my son excited about being able to read each page. At the end of the day, he takes his worksheet around reading it to everyone he sees! He’s gaining so much confidence, which is amazing to see because he previously had such a bad self concept about reading.
-Anne Marie, Homeschool Mom
" I have been nervous about trying to teach reading until I saw your program. My daughter LOVES your videos . I've heard her practicing her reading all morning! My daughter is almost non verbal so for us this was amazing . It may take her longer than the number of days but I think this program is going to be awesome for her! "
-Dana, Mom to a Special Needs daughter
