Concepts of print covers a wide range of basic topics that can be pretty much assumed all kids know. This includes the basics about books like how to properly hold a book, how to turn the pages, how to read from left to right and from the top of the page to the bottom of the page, and what we call the parts of a book. It also includes the concept that letters are put together to make words, words put together make sentences and sentences put together tell stories or give information. The fact that sentences have structure with capitalization and punctuation marks also falls into this category. This section of growing resources was created to support you in teaching these concepts about print.

This section of resources will help you help your kids to learn, practice, and hopefully master grade level appropriate phonics.

Sight words, also called high frequency words, are words that appear in up to 75% of the texts we read. They are words that cannot be pronounced phonetically and have non-standard spelling patterns. They also cannot be represented in pictures. Beginning readers will memorize these words by sight, enabling them to concentrate on comprehension as they grow in their reading skills. Advanced readers, and/or those in upper elementary grades, benefit from these words as well, enriching their vocabulary and comprehension skills simultaneously.
