This page contains all the Free-Reading activities for Word-Form Recognition. They are divided into Sequenced Activities and Supplemental Activities. You can click here to add your own supplemental activity.

About the word-form recognition activities

In word-form recognition, students take a regular word, such as sat, and say the word. At first, they may sound out the word to themselves; later, they recognize the word without sounding out. Being able to recognize words without sounding out each letter will help a student read connected text with greater fluency--a critical goal in early reading.

The objective of the word-form recognition sequence of activities is to teach students to recognize and decode common words on sight.

You can start word-form recognition activities for a specific CVC pattern as soon as students have mastered sounding out words in that pattern--e.g., they can sound out a set of four words without error.

Note that we don't include word-form recognition of irregular words in this strand, since that is taught in the Irregular Word Activities sequence.

Note: Some educators use the term sight word to refer to any word (regular or irregular) that a student can identify immediately, without sounding it out; but others use sight word to mean irregular words (words that can only be read on sight, not sounded out). To avoid confusion, we don't use the term sight word here.

Tips and tricks for teaching word-form recognition

Try this fluency-building activity once students have mastered the basic skill.
One way to accelerate students' learning is to print out flash cards for some or all of the (download them here), and give a copy to each student to take home with them with instructions to ask their parents: "Help me learn these words."

Sequenced word-form recognition activities

A Note on Lesson Deltas. If you're using an integrated instructional program such as IPID 101 that comes with a map, follow the lesson numbers in the map and ignore the deltas below. If you're using this sequence outside of a program map (e.g., you're creating your own program), take whatever lesson number you are at when you start this sequence, call that Lesson N, and add the deltas below to N to calculate the lesson number for each subsequent lesson -- i.e., if you are on Lesson 10 when you start this sequence, then the activities below labeled +14 should be included in your Lesson 24.
