Sight Words and Syllabication Toolkit provides three diagnostic sight words assessments, flashcards, a whole class direct instruction activity, and worksheets to teach and practice sight words and sight syllables. Designed by an MA Reading Specialist, Mark Pennington, these assessments, materials, and instructional activities perfectly supplement an explicit systematic phonics-based reading program. Both developing readers and reading intervention students who read at a variety of reading levels will benefit from the resources in this eBook toolkit. What a great add-on resource for phonics-based Response to Intervention tiered instruction!
The three diagnostic sight words assessments have been designed to be administered whole class—no time-consuming individual tests are necessary. The multiple-choice format means easy grading—use Scantrons® if you like. The non-phonetic outlaw words and sight-syllables diagnostic assessments include all of the common non-phonetic and syllables students should learn without decoding. The rimes (word families) assessment is comprehensive. In short, these assessments provide all of the data that will enable teachers to effectively differentiate sight word and sight syllable instruction. Note: The comprehensive reading intervention curriculum, Teaching Reading Strategies (of which the Sight Words and Syllabication Toolkit is a selection), includes each of these assessments on audio CDs—a lifesaver for administering these tests to new students or students who were absent for the initial test administration. The Teaching Reading Strategies curriculum is available here on TpT.
Sight Words and Syllabication Toolkit includes complete flashcard sets of the outlaw words, rimes, common sight-syllables, and high frequency words, ready to be run off on your school printer. Fun practice activities and games, many including the flashcards will make memorization enjoyable for your students. Perfect for reading workshops or learning center activities.
Also get the comprehensive whole class syllable patterns practice activity, Syllable Transformers. The Syllable Transformers activity uses nonsense syllables to rehearse open and closed syllables, the silent final e pattern, vowel and consonant digraphs, vowel diphthongs, and consonant blends. Nonsense syllables force students to recognize and decode each component of the sound-spelling patterns and syllable structures, which then can be applied to real words. Formatted for your SMARTboard or overhead/LCD projector, this must-have “opener” takes just three minutes a day to achieve significant results.
Additionally, Sight Words and Syllabication Toolkit (123 pages) includes 14 syllabication word lists with advanced vocabulary for whole class blending practice. Accompanying syllable worksheets will help students practice the syllable rules, accent shifts, and syllable blending.

Hello,
This looks like an excellent product! Do you have pages that deal with the schwa sound? Can you elaborate a bit on the nature of the exercise?
Thank you!

Hello Gabrielle,
It just so happens that I taught three lessons on the schwa last week--weird coincidence. Yes, the syllable rules activity has the schwa, and yes, there is a syllables lesson on the schwa with worksheet.
Essentially, the first part of the book has the outlaw words, rimes, and sight-syllables diagnostic assessments (with answers and recording matrices), flashcards of these with activities.
The second section of the book is the transformers activity. Using nonsense syllables, students practice the open, closed, final e, digraphs rules whole class via a projector display. Incredible activity, helping students to inductively learn the rules by examples.

The third portion of the book has the syllable word lists and corresponding student worksheets. Here is where the schwa comes in... Real words to practice application of the rules, syllable division, and of course, syllable blending.
