Unlock the Power of Visual and Kinesthetic Learning!

SnapWords® are an innovative teaching tool designed to accelerate sight word recognition and reading fluency in young learners. This collection of high-frequency words is crafted to engage visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners through a multi-sensory approach, ensuring that children of all learning styles can achieve reading success.

Visual Mnemonics for Enhanced Memory
Each SnapWord® in List A is paired with a unique, vivid image that visually represents the word. This method leverages the power of visual mnemonics, a proven technique in educational research. According to Ehri (2005), visual imagery can significantly aid in word recognition by helping children form strong mental associations between the word and its meaning.

Movement for Kinesthetic Learners
SnapWords List A incorporates movement that correspond to each word, engaging the body in the learning process. Research by DeLamater et al. (2019) shows that integrating physical movement with learning not only improves engagement but also enhances memory retention, making it ideal for kinesthetic learners.

Contextual Learning for Deeper Understanding
The words in SnapWords List A are presented in meaningful contexts, helping children understand their usage in real-life scenarios. Beck, McKeown, and Kucan (2002) emphasize the importance of contextual learning in vocabulary development, as it leads to a deeper understanding and better long-term retention of words.

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.

I have tried so many ways to get these words to stick, so I was willing to try these. The students love the pictures and the stories that accompany the words. I haven't used them long, but so far, they are really engaging!

Love these cards already. Great quality.

My students seem to like to gestures and said it was fun. Looking forward to purchasing more the the cards.

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

Love these!
