I shared recently that I’m back in the classroom as a Reading Specialist. After years of teaching elementary school, then working as an author, parenting educator, and mindfulness teacher, this role feels like the perfect bridge—bringing together literacy, mindfulness, and social-emotional learning to support children where they are. ✨
Today on the blog, I’m diving into the academic side of literacy: sight words.
Sight words are tiny, but they make a big difference. 🌟 When children can recognize high-frequency words like “the” or “you” instantly, reading shifts from hard work to joyful storytelling. 💛
In my new blog post, I share:
✨ What sight words are (and why they matter)
✨ The pros + cons of different sight word lists
✨ Playful activities for home + classroom
Because reading isn’t just about words—it’s about confidence, connection, and joy. 📚
