This webinar draws on the work of Jan Burkins & Kari Yates in Shifting the Balance and Wiley Blevins in A Fresh Look at Phonics, to explore questions like: What’s the difference between high-frequency words and sight words? Don’t my students simply need to memorize their sight words through lots of practice? We will explore these questions plus practical ways to apply new learning to your classroom, including a recording of a sample lesson in a grade one classroom.
