Teacher-created activities, games, and tips aligned with science to help kids learn to read

Created by a team of experienced teachers, not researchers, and aligned with the latest in the science of reading, Droppin' Knowledge on Sight Words and Word Mapping is a fun, actionable book that supports anyone teaching kids how to read. The research-based strategies included in this book take the focus off basic memorisation and encourage kids to learn and permanently store high frequency words, while also reducing stress for parents, teachers, and kids throughout the reading process.

Readers will find:

  • Games that teach sight words (including heart words) through orthographic mapping
  • Ready-to-use “quick win” activities perfect for bell work, homework, lesson plans, and extra credit assignments to deepen understanding and complement reading curriculum
  • Practical tips and teaching strategies that help teach high frequency words in a more entertaining and effective way

Addressing the literacy crisis in a way that kids find relatable and enjoyable, Droppin' Knowledge on Sight Words and Word Mapping is an essential handbook for K-5 teachers, reading specialists, and literacy coaches, along with reading tutors and all parents seeking to improve their child's literacy skills.
