Dear Educator,Teachers know and experts agree that the only way for

children to master sight words—those high frequency, often non-decodable words essential to reading fluency—is through practice.With 100 Words Kids Need to Read, we are pleased to offer a tool to

help you provide that practice in an engaging, effective format.We created the three books in this series—for first, second, and

third graders—with the guidance of literacy experts and classroomteachers. Broken down into manageable groups, words areintroduced in context and reinforced through inviting puzzles andgames. Each sequence of activities is carefully designed to touch onreading, writing, and usage—taking children beyond merevisual recognition of sight words to genuine mastery.

The journey through these skill-building pages will help youngreaders make the successful transition from learning to read toreading to learn. Along the way, they will also receive excellent

preparation for standardized tests. Enjoy the trip!

David GoddyVP, Publisher

If NumbersWere Walking

31 GRO

SIX

If numbers were walking and came in a lineYou’d learn to know them in a very short time.

Oh, look over there! See, here they come!And the first to arrive is the tall number One.

One is thin and quite straight, as suits a leader—Now here comes Two! You know Two, don’t you, reader?

Two stands good and steady on its broad baseAnd is curvy up top to make up its face.

Two is followed by Three, who true to its nameIs behind One and Two, who already came.

Now Four’s like a house with a little steep roof And has got a long stem leading down to its hoof.

Five is the middle, and that’s where you get

When you’re halfway to Ten—now don’t you forget!Let us have Six, and let it be clearThat it’s one more than Five, but not Seven, my dear.

Seven is simple, it’s the name that we gaveTo the number that’s lucky, and funny, and brave.

Eight’s nothing but curves going ‘round on itself And it would fall over if it stood on a shelf.

Nine is a circle on top of a stemAnd comes just before the number called Ten.

Ten is two numbers, zero after a oneAnd we’ve counted them all—now wasn’t that fun?

—Samuel A. Southworth

Directions:

Listen to your teacherread this poem out loud.As you listen and read,

draw a circle around eachnumber word you find.

WORDS100Kids Need to Readby 2nd Grade

NAME

Dear Educator,Teachers know and experts agree that the only way for children

to master sight words—those high frequency, often non-decodablewords essential to reading fluency—is through practice. With 100

Words Kids Need to Read, we are pleased to offer a tool to help youprovide that practice in an engaging, effective format.

We created the three books in this series—for first, second, andthird graders—with the guidance of literacy experts and classroomteachers. Broken down into manageable groups, words areintroduced in context and reinforced through inviting puzzles andgames. Each sequence of activities is carefully designed to touchon reading, writing, and usage—taking children beyond merevisual recognition of sight words to genuine mastery.

The journey through these skill-building pages will help youngreaders make the successful transition from learning to read toreading to learn. Along the way, they will also receive excellentpreparation for standardized tests. Enjoy the trip!

Name That Word! Board Game

What You Need to Play• The game board on pages 28–29of this book

• Word Cards (cut from two pages, beginning on page 25 of this book)• Two players• A game piece for each player (like a coin or a button)• One die

How to Play• Place all the Word Cards facedown in a pile.

• Roll the die. Move your piece the number of dots on the die.• If you land on a pink circle, say a word that rhymes with theword in the circle.

• If you land on “Pick a Card,” your partner picks a Word Cardand reads the word on the card out loud. You have to spell it. If you spell the word correctly, move ahead one space. After youfollow the directions on that space, it is your partner’s turn.

• If you land on any other circle, follow the directions.

• The first person to reach Finish wins!

Now Try This!You can use your Word Cards without the game board to playother games, like Memory:

• Combine 12 of your cards with the same 12 of a friend’s cards.(Use either all of your green cards or all of your orange cards.)Mix them up.

• Spread all the cards facedown. The cards should not overlap.• Pick a card and turn it over. Now pick another card and turn it

over. If the two words match, take both cards and keep them.Go again until you turn over two cards that do not match.

• The other player does the same.• The game is over when there are no cards left. The player with

the most cards wins!

Dear Educator,Teachers know and experts agree that the only way for children to

master sight words—those high frequency, often non-decodablewords essential to reading fluency—is through practice. With 100

Words Kids Need to Read, we are pleased to offer a tool to help

provide that practice in an engaging, effective format.We created the three books in this series—for first, second, andthird graders—with the guidance of literacy experts and classroomteachers. Broken down into manageable groups, words areintroduced in context and reinforced through inviting puzzles andgames. Each sequence of activities is carefully designed to touch onreading, writing, and usage, taking children beyond merevisual recognition of sight words to genuine mastery.

The journey through these skill-building pages will help youngreaders make the successful transition from learning to read toreading to learn. Along the way, they will also receive excellent

preparation for standardized tests. Enjoy the trip!

Dear Teacher,

The first thing I shood say is that I’m

sorry. Sort of.

Let me explain. I no there are times

when a student comes to class without his or

her homework. You ask where it is, and the

student ansers, “The dog ate it!”“Who wuold beleive such a story?” you

say. “Please tell the truth.”

Well, I’m righting this letter to tel you

it’s all true. I, Molly the Mutt, eat homework.

Lots of it. I go from house to house, from

state to state, gobbling homework.

It all started when I was just a puppy.

That’s when I tasted my first book report on

Green Eggs and Ham. Delicious! Now, I’ll eat

anything I can get my paws on. I like stories,

spelling tests, even math workbooks. I can’t

get enuff!

So the next time a student shows up

with a scrap of paper covered in slobber,

think of me.Yours truly,

Name That Word! Board Game

What you need to play:

• The game board on pages 28–29of this book

• Word Cards (cut from page 25 of this book)

• Two players

• A game piece for each player (like a coin or a button)

• One die

How to play:

• Place all the Word Cards facedown in a pile.

• Roll the die. Move your piece the number of dots on the die.

• If you land on a pink circle, say a word that rhymes with the word in the circle.

• If you land on “Pick a Card,” your partner picks a Word Card and reads the word on

the card out loud. You have to spell it. If you spell the word correctly, move ahead

one space. After you follow the directions on that space, it is your partner’s turn.

• If you land on any other circle, follow the directions.

• The first person to reach Finish wins!

More games you can play with the Word Cards:

Spelling Pile-up

• Put all the cards facedown in a pile.• One player picks a card and reads it out loud. The other player has to spell the word.

• If that player spells it correctly, he or she gets the card. If he or she spells it

incorrectly, the other player keeps the card.

• The player with the most cards at the end wins.

• You can also play this game with rhyming instead of spelling.

Memory

• Combine 12 of your cards with the same 12 of a friend’s cards. (Use either all of

your light blue cards or all of your dark blue cards.) Mix them up.

• Spread all of the cards facedown. The cards should not overlap.

• Pick a card and turn it over. Now pick another card and turn it over. If the two words

match, take both cards and keep them. Go again until you turn over two cards that

do not match.

• The other player does the same.

• The game is over when there are no cards left. The player with the most cards wins!
