These specific picture cues have been tested and proven effective across many schools, as they allow the child to use their right-brain, visual strength to recall a picture in place of a letter. As a dyslexia tutor for several years, I have worked extensively with children who struggle with reading and spelling. That's what makes these Picture Sight Words™ unique. Research shows that creative, right-brained children often struggle with memorization (which is a linear, sequence-based left-brain function.) But for the most part, children end up having to memorize sight words, hence the name "sight" words - these words cannot be decoded, they have to be recognized by "sight". For example, the words "does" is related in meanting to the word "do", it simply has a common suffix "es" added on to the end. And spelling them is even harder! Some sight words can be understood by showing meaning connections.

That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” Sight Word Vocabulary Flashcard Template (for visuals and tactile cues) ![]() On the second page (not pictured), students can make tactile flashcards using glitter glue or plastic screens and crayons. On the first page, students can draw pictures to accompany their sight words or vocabulary. Here are the links.Īlso, here are blank flashcard templates I made that students to use to help them learn sight words or vocabulary. These materials have really worked to help a lot of my students. I have product packets on TpT that contains sight word flashcards with visuals for the pre-primer and primer lists, auditory cues to accompany the flashcards, flashcards without visuals, a checklist for progress monitoring and a graph for progress monitoring. The idea is to use these flashcards until students are able to identify the all the words immediately, and then gently wean them off the visuals. Some of the sight words are abstract and were a little more difficult, so I came up with auditory cues to help students understand all the visuals and put everything together for them. For some of the sight words it was easy to come up with a visual to accompany the text. I do a Multiple Intelligences assessment on each of my students and so many of my students are visual learners, I wanted to give them a strategy that worked for them! Also, in a reading course I took while working towards my special education licensure, I read that when visuals are embedded in the materials, students are more likely to make the connection, so that is what I tried to do. I made these flashcards to help students learn their sight words using the visuals cues.
