Popcorn Words
Popcorn words are words that "pop" up frequently in reading and writing. It is critical that readers and writers develop automatic recognition of popcorn words, a skill that leads to fluency.
I have included a complete sight word list, flashcards, activities and fun songs to help your child learn new words.
