February 10, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Education News
Palm Coast, FL - Sierra Vista Software is pleased to announce the addition of a series of Sight Words exercises to Quiz-Tree.com.

Reading is one of the most critical skills taught at school. It is virtually impossible for a person to live a productive life in our society without being functionally literate. An important goal in teaching young students to read is making sure they are completely fluent with Sight Words.

Sight Words (often called the Dolch Word List) are some of the most frequently used words in the English language. Even though they number only about 200, Sight Words comprise approximately 50 to 70 percent of general, non-technical reading material. Therefore, teaching Sight Words as early as possible is often considered a crucial part of elementary education. Moreover, repetition and practice are essential in making the recognition of Sight Words automatic.

The new online Sight Words exercises at Quiz-Tree.com have been designed to help children master Sight Words. The exercises have been divided into several groups, according to target grades: Pre-Primer, Primer, First Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade. When the exercise starts, the student will hear one of the Sight Words. The student's task is to assemble, by using the mouse, the word from the letters provided. After the student provides the correct answer, the game will move to the next word.

The new exercises feature animated interface, feedback sounds and other enhancements that make learning more enjoyable.
