In each weekly Unit of the Grade One Teacher's Guide, children practice fluency with letter sounds and with words on word cards. They also learn to decode dozens of irregular, high frequency words or 'sight words' using the word cards. Sorting words draws attention to their sounds and spelling patterns. Children also get a chance to verbalize their understanding of new concepts. By reading and rereading the words, children are building accuracy and fluency and improving on their spelling skills. There are over 1,300 small word cards.
