Raising readers, one page at a time
Reading has a few big parts that grow together. Kids learn to decode words with phonics and recognize sight words like the, said, was on the spot. They build fluency so reading sounds smooth, and vocabulary so they can figure out new words from context clues. Then comes comprehension: story elements, cause and effect, fiction versus nonfiction, and the author's purpose. The best moment of all? When a child picks up a book just because they want to.
Every one of these moves works from kindergarten on up. Pick one and try it this week.
Pull ten words from Fry's 300 list each week and flash them in a quick daily round. Words a child reads instantly go in the "got it" pile. Watch the pile grow and celebrate every new word.
Why it works: pulling an answer out of memory makes it stick far better than rereading it, one of the strongest findings in learning research (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).
Try it withFry's 300 Sight Words ListWorksheetsOpen it →Before reading, ask "Is this fiction or nonfiction? How can you tell?" Then use the fiction and nonfiction features page to spot headings, captions and characters. Seeing a text's structure helps kids know what to look for.
Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).

Why it works: showing first, practicing together, then letting kids try alone is the "gradual release" model teachers have relied on for decades (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).

Phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. Kids need all five, and they grow together from preschool through upper elementary.
Read aloud every day, let them read to you, and talk about the story. Practice sight words for a few minutes and keep books they love nearby.
Sight words are common words kids learn to read instantly, like the, and, was and said. Many don't follow regular phonics rules, so quick recognition helps reading flow.
A short daily habit matters most. Even 10 to 20 minutes of reading together or alone every day builds skill and confidence over the year.
