You’re very welcome, Mercedes!
That was awesome. I’ve been teaching 4th & 5th grade special education for the past 11 years. This year I am moving down to K-1 special education. Your video was very helpful and informative. Thank you for sharing.

I’m so glad to hear that, Lisa!
There are no sight words if you teach your child the correct phonemes and sounds. I have dyslexia and the best program that I am also trained in to give reading interventions is the DuBard Method. It teaches the science of reading. If a child knows how to decode the phonemes he can read anything and therefore sight words are no longer an issue. These words should be called frequently used words NOT sight words. Teach the children to decode the sounds! Love a lot of the printables on this
I’d hate to see kids using all their energy to sound out words that can be learned by sight. I recommend these posts for more information: https://thisreadingmama.com/phonics-or-sight-words/
