Wholey Sight Words
Enhance visual closure and reading skills through engaging daily video exercises. This course targets the crucial skill of visual closure – the ability to recognize words and objects when only partially visible. As well as sight word recognition. Improving these skills will increase reading fluency
These 4-minute videos gradually reveal word fragments using a carefully curated list of sight words from the Dolch and Fry lists appropriate for your student’s grade level. This challenges your student to recognize the complete word as quickly as possible, training their brain to fill in missing visual information efficiently.
Visual Closure Mastery isn’t just about improving reading speed and building a solid foundation for overall academic success. Students develop better reading fluency, enhanced sight word recognition, and improved spelling by strengthening visual closure skills. These improvements reduce the cognitive load associated with decoding words, freeing up mental resources for deeper comprehension and analysis of text.
- Improves reading fluency and speed: As students become more adept at recognizing words quickly, their reading pace naturally increases.
- Enhances sight word recognition: Regular exposure to grade-appropriate sight words builds a robust visual vocabulary.
- Reduces cognitive load during reading, boosting comprehension: Faster word recognition frees up mental resources for understanding and analyzing text content.
- Strengthens spelling and writing skills: Improved visual memory of words supports better spelling and more confident writing.
- Develops pattern recognition abilities functional in math and problem-solving: The skills developed extend beyond reading, supporting overall cognitive development.
- Builds confidence in reading and academic performance: Success in these exercises can boost self-esteem and attitude towards learning.
- Utilizes neuroplasticity to create lasting improvements in visual processing: Consistent practice leads to physical changes in the brain, solidifying the learned skills.
- Provides a structured, consistent approach to skill development: The daily format helps establish a routine and steady progress.
