Unit 3 · Sight Word City

The words that don't play by the rules, read in a flash.

Some words can't be sounded out, so they are taught to automaticity: flashed, spoken, spelled, used in sentences and finally read aloud into the microphone.

Flash Words

Adaptive level 1

Flash time shortens as the child gets faster — 1600ms at this level.

Twelve high-frequency words are taught in this demo world. Flash timing shortens automatically as recognition becomes automatic, and a child never sees more than four choices at once.
