Sight Word Intervention

Sight Word Intervention is a systematic method of teaching your student or child how to read sight words by using proven techniques with Incremental Rehearsal. This application is designed by Kindergarten and First Grade Educators at top elementary schools who have effectively used these techniques to teach many students as part of core curriculum. Now your student or child can leverage our experience to master sight words and build confidence and a strong base for reading.

This application allows you to complete comprehensive assessments of your students' abilities across six different sight word lists including Zeno, Dolch and Fry. You can also add your own lists and words. After completing assessments, you can focus interventions by selecting nine known words and one unknown word for the student. Through incremental rehearsal, known words are reinforced while words that are not yet known are mastered. These techniques have been proven to work in many classroom and home settings.

This application guides you through interventions by presenting words in the following order, where Z is the unknown word and A through I are known by the student:

Z
A, Z
A, B, Z
A, B, C, Z
A, B, C, D, Z
A, B, C, D, E, Z
A, B, C, D, E, F, Z
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, Z
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, Z
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, Z


For each interaction in assessments or interventions, the facilitator records whether the student knows the words or not. The application tracks each and every word, automatically recording proficiency when the student reaches 80% for the word or marking the word as unknown if proficiency drops below the 80% threshold.

Detailed reports show the following:
- Percentage known by word list and each word within the list
- Number of words learned by week
- Charting to show words learned by week compared to goal
- Email progress, detailed results and charts

The ability to add custom word lists and/or words is available. This creates endless opportunities for your students and allows you to create even more opportunities for students who are proficient in what is provided.

We hope this offering increases your students' abilities in reading sight words and learning to read. We gladly accept feedback and strive to provide the best products for you and those wanting to teach and learn.
