![]() ![]() I just printed the executive summary of the report of the natl early literacy panel…yet as I skim through I see nothing regarding sight word acquisition.Īt this point, we have some that believe it’s NOT developmentally appropriate to teach sight words….others are very skills=based and driven to do so, especially with the 1st grade goal of mastery of 100 high frequency words by Oct 1 of first grade. I’m on the hunt for some solid research and have not been successful in finding it (I’m usually pretty good in doing so!) My K teachers are in disagreement about the teaching of sight vocabulary – and it’s a driving force for some angst right now in their team. I’m writing you out of sheer frustration in doing my own research on the topic of Kindergarten Sight words – perhaps it’s because the answer I’m looking for just isn’t there? However, in theīeginning it is useful to teach students to recognize some high frequency words-even by memory. Students eventually recognize almost all words as sight words. If decoding is taught well and effectively Teaching sight words directly (and not just as an outcome of phonics).īasically, sight words are words students can identify immediately with noĮvident sounding or mediation. These days theĭyslexia-focused advocates would likely fry me for supporting the idea of Sight vocabulary and I was suggesting they were overdoing it). Number of words recommended (since some of the publishers and consultants were promoting large numbers of They will then use this strategy intuitively to incorporate other complicated sight words into their knowledge bank.Blast from the Past: This entry was first posted on Februand was re-issued on February 2, 2019. When this blog entry first posted the only part that was controversial was the The letters and their sounds form a mnemonic that assists children retain the specific word in their memory.Īccording to researchers, when kids go through extensive lists of sight words enough times, it’s bound to improve their vocabulary as the technique becomes embedded in their repertoire of reading skills. Their ability to merge the two is aided by their understanding of the alphabet. It may very well result in them becoming avid readers over time and develop crucial learning techniques they can employ in future endeavors.Ĭhildren, upon learning sight words, connect their existing understanding of the word (meaning and pronunciation) with its spelling. Not only will these children come across the same words in advanced books, but the entire process of learning sight words will polish their overall vocabulary skills. ![]() Sight word education has far-reaching benefits that extend beyond the realm of simply helping kids read. With analytic phonics, you recognize the “_ark” sound pattern and add the “l” to it. With synthetic phonics, you would treat each letter separately, so you review the “l”, the “a” etc. There are two approaches using phonics, each considered to be better than memorizing sight words: (a) synthetic phonics, where the reader learns the sound of each letter, then combines them to form the word, and (b) analytic phonics – where the child is taught how to spot graphemes within words and use that knowledge to pronounce other words.Īn example might be to know the word “bark” and then read “lark”. ![]() This is far easier than dealing with the ~15,000 English syllables. If a young reader learns these, s/he is ready to build a memory bank of sound and letter combinations. It is estimated that there are only 44 most common combinations of letters and sounds – including the basic letters and vowel sounds, along with combinations such as “-ing”, “th” and “sh”. Students will be taught to recognize graphemes – which are phonemes blended together – to not just read and memorize letters and then guess. The science of reading teaching decodables is markedly different. The problem with memorizing sight words, without any basis for phonetic patterns, is that many sight words become irregular – something that taxes the mind unduly without some other association. If the correct usage is the first one, children will often autocorrect in the other two cases and read as if “whose” had been repeated thrice. ![]() For example, in the absence of visual clues, imagine that there are slight misspellings in a common word used in a paragraph – say “whose”, “who’s” and “whoosh”. Memorizing sight words has now been scientifically proven to induce confusion in young readers since they get to reading things “in context”. Many times, these words do not have an accompanying image. We frequently encounter sight words in our reading and writing. ![]() ![]() ![]() With 12 colors to choose from, AIR OPTIX® COLORS contact lenses allow wearers to enhance any eye color-whether they’re for brown eyes, for green eyes, or for blue eyes.

I have light brown eyes, but you can see even the "vibrant" Gemstone Green lens allows some of my natural brown to show through. To demonstrate how subtle and "natural" looking this color is, I submitted myself to a test drive. The pure hazel design pictured here shows this effect nicely, and you can see that the wearer's personal eye color will be subtely showing through in the middle zone of the lens to add more natural looking color dimension. Each lens color has a 3 zone transition, with a brighter interior accent color and a bold outline around the outside of the lens to enhance dimension for a more natural look. The colors even in the "vibrant" section are relatively subtle by previous standards, and the fake pupil appearance is minimized by the smooth color transition that Ciba has made at the center of the lens.

This was not an eBay sale, so I was looking at options under either PayPal/ShipNow or USPS Click 'n' Ship, but nothing seemed to fit. It was probably no thicker than a half inch at most, and shipping weight was just 7 ounces (which is why I wasn't looking to spend extra money on their Flat Rate Padded Envelope). I had a manila folder of eBay paperwork to mail to my CPA, and it all fit in the Tyvek USPS Priority Mail envelope (EP14, with a barcode ending in 013).

Given time, I'm sure people will come around to appreciate its genius writing. Bravo to the all-star cast, and to Steven Knight for creating such a brilliant film, and he should hold his head up high in creating this gem. I feel people should go into this film without seeing the trailer or reading the ridiculous negative reviews, and without any expectations, and they will be pleasantly surprised. It's sad this film was not promoted properly, and I can understand how some viewers felt misled, but I on the other hand, enjoyed being misled into a whole different film from what I expected. I have nothing negative to say about this film! It certainly is a refreshing change from the typical Hollywood blockbuster films.

By now you are sucked into some type of weird conspiracy, you can't stop watching! I don't want to give any more away, but the writing is pure genius.

Most of the critics called the writing "bad dialogue" and the acting "cartoonish, especially that of Hathaway, whose femme fatale comes across as a kind of live-action Jessica Rabbit". As a huge fan of the 'Black Mirror' series, this film is right up there in the writing category, and I hope all Black Mirror fans get a chance to see this one, as it's a brilliant masterpiece!

Both these cards also have a cash back version and we will compare them with the Indigo Cash Back Rewards Mastercard here.

This is better than the $59 annual fee version with a ratio of 19.67%.Ĭomparison with Other Subprime Credit Cards Offering Cash Back From the second year onwards (with the higher $99 annual fee), the fees to credit limit ratio increases slightly to 15%.

The second best turns out of be the card we are evaluating (the Indigo Mastercard CashBack Rewards). In terms of fees to credit limit ratio, the best version is the one with no annual fee. As a recap, the 1.5% cash back version also has an ($75 first year, then $99 thereafter) annual fee structure. You could be presented with version that have the following annual fee structure: $0, $59 or ($75 for the first year, then $99) versions. All of their cards come with a $300 starting credit limit that does not increase ever. We then subtract the cash back earnings from the total fees (since cash back does offset the fees you pay) and rerun the fee (less the cash back) to credit limit ratio.įees to Credit Limit Ratio Compared to Indigo's other credit cardsĪside from this 1.5% cash back version, Indigo will present you either one of three offers if you get pre-approved.
