SnapWords™ Teaching Cards (SWAENC1)
SnapWords™ Cards are essentials for teaching sight word recognition to a wide variety of learners, including visual learners, children labeled with ADD or ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or right brained learners. The images embedded into each word ensure that children gain a rich sight word vocabulary as easily as a camera snapping a picture and storing it in memory. But that's not all. Beyond just recognizing the words, the tools on the reverse of the card move children beyond calling out words to really understanding what they mean and how to use them in sentences. The reverse of each card displays the word without a visual and describes a hand motion for the word - a necessary tool for many kinesthetic learners and dyslexic children. In addition, a sentence using the word and coordinating with the visual on the front of the card focuses children's attentions to the meaning of the word and how it is used in everyday communication. These images have proven to be the turning point for children who had not made progress through any other means. Over 300 words, including all the Dolch high frequency words and the Fountas & Pinnell 100 most frequently recurring words. Each card is 5.5” wide by 4.25” tall.

Sight Word Strip Book (SWSB)

One of the quickest, most effective ways to boost district-wide reading performance is by using products that are designed according to the best research about how children learn. Research shows that a large percentage of children learn in visual and kinesthetic ways, while much about our traditional classrooms is designed more for those left brain dominant learners. Prevent the tragedy of failure by using multisensory materials from the beginning, and also provide badly-needed helps for those children who are struggling.

Testimonials
"Thanks so much for the speedy reply. I have shown these cards to so many people. My students have done very well on sets A - C. Each week I let them help me pick out 10 new cards for our stack. They also try to add the number 10 to the previous number of words that they know and are so impressed with themselves. They know close to 200 sight words! They know the 'sentence' that goes with the words and the motion."
