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 100Words 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 mere visual 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 28–29 of 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 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. Ifyou 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!
