Heart words (previously termed "sight words") are irregularly spelled words frequently found in text. Research shows that students should be explicitly taught the grapheme-phoneme correspondences of these words, especially the "tricky" part. This resource provides worksheets for students to practice the "sight words" introduced in Sonday System 1 using heart word mapping strategies.

I use this page for my intervention groups so that the students can visually see their growth and be motivated to continue. It can be used for assessments in any subject. I currently use this page with my Reading Comprehension group. Filling out this chart motivates them every day. I even give a prize to those who get 100% three days in a row! It is a great way to track student progress for RTI or progress on IEP goals.
