The exercises within this book place words amongst similar words to improve visual discrimination and to expose the pupil to a wide range of commonly used words. The use of sentences in these exercises reinforce the awareness of basic sentence structure. The word searches provide practice in finding words surrounded by random letter groups.
Punctuation
It is helpful to ensure that, when the pupil is copying the sentence, capital letters are always used at the beginning of a sentence and that full stops or question marks are used at the end. Commas and speech marks are inserted for the pupil where appropriate.
Tracking procedures
Where Left-Right movement is still in the developmental stages it may be helpful to encourage the pupil to circle the target words.
Pupils often find the use of a highlighter to highlight each word with a simple line more fun because of the novelty aspect.
Mixed Up Sentences
These provide exercises which go beyond the basic skill of word recognition and sentence copying. They will provide a more challenging activity for pupils who have mastered the sight words having completed the tracking activities without difficulty.
The exercises will help to reinforce the awareness of sentence structure and relative positions within a sentence of verbs, nouns, adjectives etc.
