Extra Practice for Struggling Readers: High-Frequency Words

Extra Practice for Struggling Readers: High-Frequency Words by Linda Beech is a resource published by Scholastic, Incorporated in July 2010. This 80-page book is designed to assist older struggling readers in mastering high-frequency words, often referred to as “sight words.” These words can be particularly challenging as they do not always adhere to standard sound-spelling relationships, making them difficult for students to decode. The book provides numerous practice pages that facilitate repeated exposure and learning of these common tricky words.

Readers will find that this resource focuses on enhancing reading fluency and comprehension through targeted practice. By engaging with the exercises, students can improve their ability to quickly and accurately recognize high-frequency words, which in turn supports their overall reading skills. The content is tailored for educational settings, making it suitable for teachers and students in elementary schools. This edition serves as a practical tool for reinforcing language arts and phonics, ultimately contributing to the development of more fluent readers.
