All About High Frequency Words (Sight Words)

In my quest to help kids learn to read, I also want to make sure that I empower parents - and even teachers - to better understand exactly what happens in a child's brain as they learn to read.  In addition, common educational practices are fascinating to me.  To that end, I've been working on some eBooks that explain literacy, one concept at a time. 

The first one is all about High Freqency Words / Sight Words - the Dolch lists, the Fry lists, how we determine which words to use, etc.  I've even included 9 different passages with High Frequency Words highlighted so you can see, in color, the way that High Frequency Words basically hog all text.  :)

Because I want everyone to have this information, the eBook is free.  There is also a paid version if you want to be able to print it, or use it in educational settings.
