Word lists and learning activities are aligned to the kindergarten Common Core Curriculum and cover grade level concepts, such
as sight word recognition and syllable segmentation, as well as content area vocabulary.
The
word recognition approaches included (a) coaching children in the use of strategies to figure out unknown
words as they were reading text, (b) focusing on
words in stories to review phonic elements, (c) providing explicit phonics instruction, and (d) practicing
sight words.
