Frequently Asked Questions

Sight words are critical in early literacy because they make up 80-90% of the words children encounter in text, and recognizing them instantly greatly simplifies reading, improving fluency and comprehension. These high-frequency words, such as "the" and "and," enhance reading fluency, comprehension, and confidence, laying the foundation for more advanced literacy skills, reducing cognitive load, and supporting performance on standardized tests and overall language development. In a nutshell, mastering sight words is essential for building strong reading skills in children.

SnapWords® are designed to cater to diverse learning styles, particularly accommodating visual learners who benefit from associating words with images, seeing the whole word before delving into details like phonics, spelling, and decoding. This approach begins with presenting the entire word, allowing learners to establish a visual memory of the word's form before exploring spelling patterns and phonics rules, ultimately empowering them to tackle more complex, unfamiliar words. While sequential methods typically start with teaching details before introducing the whole word, SnapWords® recognize that right-brain dominant learners thrive by grasping words and phonics holistically.

For individuals with a left-brain dominant learning style, who think in words and handle abstractions adeptly, the images on the front of the cards may appear redundant or distracting. The unadorned word on the back may align better with their preferences. However, for right-brained visual learners, the inclusion of images is indispensable. These images enable them to create a mental picture and store the entire word in visual memory, matching their cognitive style. This image then serves as a recall anchor, even when they encounter the plain word. If asked how they remember the word while reading, they will often attribute it to the image stored in their visual memory.

SnapWords® take a comprehensive approach by incorporating body motion to engage kinesthetic learners, activating body memory. Additionally, the inclusion of sentences aids in comprehending and using words correctly within the context of sentences. This multifaceted method ensures that SnapWords® address various learning preferences and provide a holistic learning experience.

When introducing sight words to your child, the appropriate starting point depends on their familiarity with these words. If your child is a beginner, commence with List A. However, if your child has some prior exposure to sight words, it's essential to assess their knowledge. Begin with List A and have them read the words aloud. They should be able to recognize and read these words quickly, without the need to sound them out. If your child successfully reads all the words in the list, advance to the next list and repeat the evaluation process. In cases where your child encounters words they need to sound out, it's advisable to commence with that specific list. Initiating with a list that contains words they already know provides a confidence boost and helps them transition to this new approach to learning.

The Teaching Cards come in a convenient size of 5.5" in width and 4.25" in height, making them perfect for group instruction. If you prefer a more compact option, the Pocket Chart Size Cards are half the dimensions, measuring 4.25" in width and 2.75" in height. These smaller cards are excellent for small group activities and independent practice, offering flexibility in how you use the materials.

My 4 year old isn’t some crazy prodigy but he can breeze through all of box A and B just from keeping them in the car and flipping through them waiting for sister’s pickup. These cards are a must- I wish I’d had them with my daughter. I’m here to get level C.

I'm using these with both my 6 year old and 4 year old. I would love to see a pack that is focused specifically on words that cannot be sounded out with the basic rules, my daughter's 1st grade class refers to these as "tricky words". Examples: was, have, were, all, etc. These words can't be sounded out with rules that 1st graders know, so they have to memorize them. In the first half of the year, they've been given 41 tricky words to memorize. I had to order SnapWords List A, List B & List C to cover as many of these tricky words as I could and these three packs covered 36 out of the 41 tricky words they have so far. I know that every school is going to give different word lists, so we can't expect it to match perfectly. However, if there was a pack that focused specifically on words that are used frequently but can't be sounded out with the basic rules, I think I could have bought a lot less cards and I think this would be incredibly valuable for both parents and teachers alike, especially since most schools are moving more towards teaching phonics first!

Kids with Autism and ADHD/ ADD are visual thinkers, and this approach works! Our son glances at it, listens to the story and remembers the word with little effort!!!

I teach struggling students all of the important foundational skills for reading, and Child1st Snap Words are just right for helping them learn and retain sight words. I now have Pocket Chart Cards for Lists A, B, and C. Students love them as much as I do!

We love these cards! The colors are so bright and cheerful and the students love participating with the sentences and motions!
