Congratulations on your purchase of the This Really Good
Stuff® EZread™ Sight Word Phrase Flash Cards for
Transitional Readers, Set 2,—a versatile Card set that
helps students master important sight words and improve
reading accuracy. These Phrase Cards along with the first
set of EZread™ Sight Word Phrase Flash Cards for
Transitional Readers give students the opportunity to
practice 300 of the most frequently occurring words found
in early-reading materials.
This Really Good Stuff® product includes:
• 75 Two-sided Flash Cards
• This Really Good Stuff® Activity Guide
After studying sight words individually or in short
phrases, students are ready to encounter longer, more
complex sight word phrases. Using the Sight Word Phrase
Cards in a variety of activities, you can provide your
individual or small group of readers with the repetitive
practice and meaningful context they need to build
fluency and improve reading comprehension.
Managing the EZread™ Sight Word Phrase Flash
Cards for Transitional Readers, Set 2
• Keep the Cards organized in alphabetical order on the
included Metal Ring and/or separate Cards that are
causing challenges for the group from those that they
can already read with ease.
• Record phrases that challenge students in order to
keep track of their progress and to aid in assessment.
• Storing the Flash Cards in baggies or on separate
Rings will allow you to access them easily during a
lesson or when you want to place a selection of Cards in
a learning center.
The EZread™ Sight Word Phrase Flash Cards for
Transitional Readers, Set 2 have common phrases of
four or five sight words on both sides. Because most
sight words do not stimulate a visual image in the mind
of the reader, practicing them in common phrases helps
students attach meaning and context to otherwise
abstract words. Many of the sight words appear in more
than one phrase so that students begin to recognize
them automatically. For example, hat appears in several
phrases (a hat on her head, had it under his hat, woman
with the yellow hat, and place your hat on the), giving
students the chance to hear and see the word
repeatedly in a variety of ways. This repeated
contextualized exposure to sight words allows you to
reach all readers, especially those struggling with word
recognition or learning English.
Introducing Sight Word Phrases
1. Hold up each sight word phrase one at a time. Have
the student read it aloud. Observe how long it takes
for the student to read each phrase correctly.
2. Set aside phrases that the student cannot read.
Take note of the words that cause confusion.
3. Mix up the remaining Cards and again display them
one at a time, increasing the pace slightly as you
hold them up for the student.
4. Repeat until the student is able to read the
phrases automatically.
5. Challenge the reader to use each phrase correctly
in a sentence.
6. Study the phrases further and in context using
the activities provided.
Tips for the At-Risk Student
• Practice only a few Phrase Cards a week and review
them daily.
• Select Cards that have the same sight words.
• Use mnemonic devices—have students draw a
picture to accompany each phrase.
• Provide lots of exposure to sight words. Include them
in class writing and spelling lists.
• Have students spell words aloud in a rhythmic
pattern or with their fingers in the air.

Activities for Further Practice
Use the following activities to tap into different learning
styles and meet the needs of every student.
Phrase Cut-Aparts
Make a copy of each phrase you want the students to
practice building. Cut apart the words in the phrase. Mix
up the cut-apart phrases and provide students with the
complete Phrase Cards. Have students practice selecting
a phrase and finding the words to build it. This makes a
great learning center activity. Observe student progress
and check their work as needed. Later on, hold up
phrases and then challenge students to build the phrase

Select three phrases. Write two of them on index cards.
Write the third phrase on two separate cards. Display
the four Phrase Cards, one at a time, for your group and
have students tell you which phrase appears twice.
Phrase Hunt
Have the student hunt for sight words and phrases in
the context of reading materials, classroom labeling, and
sentences you display for them. Or write a story that
uses the phrase, and have them come up and highlight
the phrase.
Class Sentences
Have students sit in a circle. Pass out one Phrase Card
to each student. Go around the circle, having every
student read his or her Phrase Card aloud. Make a
second trip around the circle, but this time, have
students use their phrase in a sentence. Once every
student has said a sentence, pass the Phrase Cards to
the right and start over. Have students continue making
up a variety of sentences that add new context to the
sight word phrases.

Concentration
Select at least 10 sight word phrases and write each
phrase on two different index cards. Mix up the cards and
place them face down in rows. Have two to four students
take turns turning over two cards at a time, trying to
find a match. When the student gets a matched pair, he
or she gets to keep the pair. If not, the cards go back to
their original positions, and the turn is over. The game is
over when all the cards have been matched. The winner is
the player with the most pairs. Increase the challenge by
having students use each phrase in a sentence.

Phrase Baseball
Pick two teams of at least four students each. Hold up
one Card at a time for whoever is “batter.” Players move
around “bases” in the classroom every time a player on
their team can quickly and correctly read the phrase
shown. A team scores one point whenever a player gets
to home base (i.e., there are no home runs, only “runs
batted in”).

and improve reading comprehension.
This Really Good Stuff® product includes:

After studying individual sight words, early readers need
practice with fluent phrasing. Using the Sight Word
Phrase Cards in a variety of activities, you can provide
your individual or small group of early readers the
repetitive practice and the meaningful context they need
to master sight words and build reading fluency.

The EZread™ Sight Word Phrase Flash Cards for
Beginning Readers, Set 2 have common, simple phrases
made up of two or three sight words on both sides.
Because most sight words do not stimulate a visual
image in the mind of the reader, practicing them in
common phrases helps early readers attach meaning and
context to otherwise abstract words. Most words appear
in more than one phrase so that students begin to
recognize them automatically. For example, night appears
in many phrases (good night, a cold night, at night, and
my first night), giving students the chance to hear and
see the word repeatedly in a variety of ways. This
repeated contextualized exposure to sight words allows
you to reach all readers, especially those struggling with
word recognition or learning English.
Tips for the Struggling Reader
• Practice only a few Cards a week.
• Select Cards that have the same sight words.
• Use mnemonic devices—have students draw a
picture to accompany each phrase.
• Provide lots of exposure to sight words. Include them
in class writing and spelling lists.

Activities for Further Practice
Use the following activities to tap into the different learning
styles and meet the needs of every student.
Phrase Match-Up
Select two Phrase Cards that display the same sight
word, such as, left or right and they left us. Read them
aloud and have students tell you which word they have in
common, left. Pass out one Phrase Card for each
student, making sure each phrase contains a sight word
that has a match on another Card. Explain to students
that they must find the person who has a word that
they have on their Card. Set a timer and have students
pair up. Once all students have found their partner, have
them read their Phrase Cards aloud. For an extra
challenge, have them use their phrases in sentences.
Phrase Cut-Aparts
Make a copy of each phrase you want the students to
practice building. Cut apart the words in the phrase.
Mix up the cut-apart phrases and provide them with
the complete Phrase Cards. Have students practice
selecting a phrase and finding the words to build it.

Select at least eight sight word phrases and write each
phrase on two different index cards. Mix up the cards and
place them face down in rows. Have two to four students
take turns flipping over two cards at a time, trying to
find a match. When the student gets a matched pair, he
or she gets to keep the pair. If not, the cards go back to
their original positions, and the turn is over. The game is
over when all the cards have been matched. The winner is
the player with the most pairs. Increase the challenge by
having students use each phrase in a sentence.
Helping Teachers Make A Difference®
Phrase Sort
Select four to six sight words found in the Phrase Cards
and write them on index cards. Choose them based on
the needs of your group, for example, use bring, color,
friend, and girl for a group of students who are confusing
these words. Place the index cards side by side and read
them aloud with your group. Pass out a selection of
Phrase Cards that contain the targeted sight words.
Give students a limited amount of time to sort the
Cards into the correct categories. Have them place the
Phrase Cards below the individual sight word Cards, so
that the index cards remain visible. When they finish, have
students read the phrases aloud, checking for accuracy
and fluency.
Find the Repeat
Select three phrases. Write two of them on index cards.
Write the third phrase on two separate cards. Display
the four Phrase Cards, one at a time, for your group and
have students tell you which phrase appears twice.
Class Sentences
Have students sit in a circle. Select a Sight Word Phrase
Card and read it aloud. Use the phrase in a sentence and
then pass the Card to the student on your right side.
That student must use the phrase in a different
sentence and pass it to the next student. Have
students continue passing the same Phrase Card around
the circle, making up a variety of sentences that add new
context to the sight word phrase. When you feel your
group is ready, introduce a new Phrase Card.

EZread™ Sight Word Phrase Flash Cards for Emergent Readers, Set 2
Congratulations on your purchase of the Really Good
Stuff® EZread™ Sight Word Phrase Flash Cards for
Emergent Readers, Set 2,—a versatile card set that
helps primary students master important sight words
and and common phrases.
This Really Good Stuff® product includes:
• 100 Two-sided Flash Cards
• This Really Good Stuff® Activity Guide
Using flash card activities, you can provide your
individual or small group of emergent readers with the
repetitive practice they need to master sight words
and short phrases. This helps students recognize some
of the most frequently occurring words automatically
by sight, rather than by sounding out letter sounds
that they are still learning.
Similar practice with reading common phrases is a great
way to improve on the sight-word knowledge base and to
build reading fluency. Because most sight words do not
stimulate a visual image in the mind of the reader,
practicing them in common phrases helps students
attach meaning and context to otherwise abstract
words. The repeated contextualized exposure to sight
words allows you to reach all readers, especially those
struggling with word recognition or learning English.
Introducing Sight Words or Phrases
1. Hold up each Sight Word Card. Have the student
read it aloud. Observe how long it takes for the
student to read each word correctly.
2. Set aside words that the student cannot read.
3. Mix up the remaining Cards and again display them
one at a time, increasing the pace slightly as you
hold them up for the student.
4. Repeat until the student is able to read the words
automatically.
5. Once the student knows all of the words in the set,
begin studying the phrases on side 2 using a
similar method. Challenge the student to use each
phrase correctly in a sentence.
6. Study the words and phrases further and in
context using the activities provided.
Variation:
As you begin phrase study, flip the Card over after
every word to display the phrase that includes the
word. This reminds students to refer to their sight
vocabulary and makes each phrase more familiar and
meaningful.
Managing the EZread™ Sight Word Phrase Flash
Cards for Emergent Readers, Set 2
• Keep the Cards organized in alphabetical order on the
included metal ring and/or separate Cards that are
causing challenges for the group from those that they

• Record phrases that challenge students in order to
keep track of their progress and to aid in assessment.
• Storing the Flash Cards in baggies or on separate rings
will allow you to access them easily during a lesson or
when you want to place a selection of Cards in a
learning center.
The EZread™ Sight Word Phrase Flash Cards for
Emergent Readers, Set 2 have single sight words printed
on side 1 and common, simple phrases of two or three
words on side 2. This allows you to use the Cards with
students at different levels and to build on their sightword knowledge as they tackle the next level,—phrases.

Activities for Further Practice
Use the following activities to tap into different learning
styles and meet the needs of every student.
Word Cut-Apart
Select a sight word and write it onto an index card in
large print. Have the student read the word and name its
letters. Cut between each letter of the word and mix the
letters up. Have the student put the word back together
and read it again.

Concentration
Select at least eight sight words or phrases and write
each phrase on two different index cards. Mix up the
cards and place them face down in rows. Have two to
four students take turns flipping over two cards at a
time, trying to find a match. When the student gets a
matched pair, he or she gets to keep the pair. If not, the
cards go back to their original positions, and the turn is
over. The game is over when all the cards have been
matched. The winner is the player with the most pairs.
Word or Phrase Hunt
Have the student hunt for sight words and phrases in
the context of reading materials, classroom labeling, and
sentences you display for them. Or have them find the
word or phrase on the board, and then come up and point
to it.
Helping Teachers Make A Difference®
Repetitive Language
Almost every primary learner responds well to repetitive
language. Display a sentence frame that includes one
or more sight words in repetition. Have students listen
as you read the text for them while pointing to each
word. Repeat, asking students to join in when they can.
Once the text is memorized, ask a student to add a
final line that follows the pattern.
I can run.
I can jump.
I can play.
.
I can
Use It in Context
Use the words and phrases in sentences as you go.
Then challenge the student to do the same. The
sentences can be simple as long as they make sense.
Choose a sentence for each word or phrase, and have
the student read the sentence back to you and then
copy it in their notebook.
