High-Frequency Words: Stories and Activities, Level A focuses on teaching 100 high-frequency pre-primer and primer Dolch words. Each unit addresses 6 or 7 Dolch words and 2 to 4 key story nouns. Units follow a consistent format, with the words practiced individually, in sentences, and in a story. Helping your students learn to read these 100 words on sight will improve reading fluency, automaticity, and comprehension. • Units 1 through 6 cover the Dolch pre-primer words, so students may master them first. • Vocabulary on all pages is carefully controlled to foster success. Students encounter only those words that have been introduced previously. • Engaging and fun stories, which often incorporate rhyme or rhythmic patterns, make high-frequency word practice meaningful. • Reproducible word-list sliders allow for quick and easy practice and may be used with any page in the lesson. They may also be sent home for continuing practice. • Three cumulative word lists help assess students' word mastery.
