Effective Strategies for Teaching Sight Words- with data!

In this episode of the Days With Dyslexia podcast, Michelle discusses the importance of teaching sight words by integrating sounds, letters, and meanings. The presentation, originally prepared for a state convention for speech-language pathologists, emphasizes that merely memorizing sight words is not effective for children with learning differences, particularly dyslexia. Instead, Michelle introduces a system that organizes words by sound patterns and teaches them in a way that engages all four language systems: speech, listening, reading, and writing. This method has been shown to significantly improve spelling accuracy and long-term word retention compared with traditional methods. The episode includes research findings and practical tips for implementing this approach for parents, speech-language pathologists, teachers, and reading interventionists.
