Why are sight words so tricky? Why do some students struggle to learn to read and spell these words? What’s the difference between sight words, high frequency words, heart words, power words, trick words and red words, anyway?
In this workshop we will better understand the different terms, consider how orthographic mapping strategies can support automatic word recognition and strengthen spelling, and share instructional strategies and routines. You will leave with 2-3 strategies you can try tomorrow with your students to support trick word acquisition using orthographic mapping!
