Sight Words-Based Solutions

Not every striving reader starts in the same place. Some students need to build decoding skills letter by letter, called phonics-based instruction. Others already sound out words but need to recognize common words instantly to read with speed and confidence, called sight-word-based instruction. This page covers Saddleback's sight-words-based solution for tween readers, ages 10 to 14: Tween Emergent Reader Libraries®.

TWEEN EMERGENT READER LIBRARIES®

Tween Emergent Reader Libraries® give striving tween readers material built for their reading level, without reading like it was written for a younger student. Short, simple sentences pair with highlighted "emphasis" words to build word recognition, while full-color photography supports comprehension at every step. Organized into three progressive tiers, GO! Emerge™, GO! Engage®, and GO! Excel™, the series builds confidence and skill as students move from beginning sight words toward full sentences.
