Are you using Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons?
It is one of our favorites! These flashcards are a companion resource to the book. Our flashcards contain the sounds and words introduced in Lessons 1 - 49.
The flashcards are created using plain text with the DISTAR symbols as well as other
decoding marks (like the balls and arrows) removed. We have found that this helps children transition to reading words in normal text a bit easier.
These flashcards are best printed on cardstock. If you are planning on using them with more than one child, consider laminating them for extra durability. They can easily be stored on a binder ring or notecard box.
Using the Flashcards:
- Once the child is introduced to the sound or word in the lessons, the flashcards should be used as a reinforcement activity.
- The flashcard practice does not have to be connected to your reading lessons, especially if you have a less than motivated reader.
- We suggest taking about 5 minutes to review the flashcards. Keep it quick!
- Daily review is the best way to reinforce learning new sounds and words.
- Make practicing your flashcards a fun and enjoyable experience...keep it positive!
Organization:
We have included 3 dividers in this resource to help you keep the flashcards organized. There is also a bookmark included on the first printable page.
- New Words: words and sounds not yet introduced will be stored behind this divider
- Words I’m Practicing: words and sounds that are newly introduced or working on reading fluently
- Words I Know: words and sounds that can be read quickly by sight
We suggest practicing “Words I’m Practicing” flashcards daily while incorporating the “Words I Know” flashcards occasionally to ensure they can still be read fluently.
