and the idea that an illustration relates to what is being read outloud, and there are benefits in listening and looking....phonemic awareness, sequencing, vocab, tonal awareness, enjoyment.... I don't beleive books 'teach' sight words. They are opportunities for using skills and for the necessary spaced repetition to reach fluency. Some students will need more time or teacher guided involvement before they take the initiative and exercise those skills on their own. Ever done the color word crayon sheets? The reading objective is individualized, depending on what the child is learning and what the child is practicing to fluency.

These books are not for the level your dd is working at, they are for emerging readers. In your example, the primary goal is 'learning' the sight word 'see' and the secondary goal is recognizing phonemes. Everything else is gravy, and the hope is that the child will use the skill of using the unknown word's initial and final letters plus illustration to figure out the new word while getting enough repetition on the sight words to move these words into long term memory. In addition to Wendy's excellent advice, consider adding an appropriate dictionary and a thesaurus to your bookshelf. The visuals they have are very good these days. Also consider making booklets...the student gets practice in sequencing and builds fluency. We skipped a lot of beginning readers in favor of buddy reading at the level of interest of the child, which is the level they are actively listening to a story..... but the selection had to have big enough print that there is no eye strain. So...Dr. Suess, Henry & Mudge, Mr. Putter & Tabby, Magic School Bus. If you come across an older phonics based reading series, its worth picking up as they often include poetry. I taught adult reading as a volunteer thru a community based program, pre-covid of course, and my organization uses the series I used as a child...dictionary use is taught, phonics is taught and practiced, complexity and general knowledge increases as the grade levels increase.

A stomp rocket is good....https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W3SFLWQ/?coliid=I1SSQ65JJEZBX7&colid=1VYLDHIIUBR1J&psc=1&ref_=lv_vv_lig_dp_it perhaps

Lanny, so good to hear that your dd is able to spend the break at home. What a college experience she has had! Many stories to come in the next weeks. Happy 🦃 Day to you all.

All of the math textbook publishers have these resources...you can order from their website or Amazon Browse these resources from Glencoe: Parent-Student-Study Guide Workbook this is probably what you want if you don't want a textbook Pre-req Skills Workbook Skills Practice Workbook Homework Practice Workbook For students that find a graphical and/or symbolic explanation helpful: Older Dolciani textbook For Students that learn from video lessons: Hippocampus.org and lastly Quick reference guide for you mathopolis.com might be a good place to do oral practice together My advice, having been in this boat, is get the pacing guide from the teacher or math chair-person. It will let you plan and see where your breathing room is, as well as decide how you want to proceed. Know that your student does not have to take any particular class from the school district - you may use another provider and transfer in the credit if you follow the procedures spelled out by the state and the district. There may also be a state test out option. You could withdraw her from the course at semester, and talk them into granting a half credit if you find a better fit elsewhere. After that, go thru the explanation choices with your child and get a good fit - my kid liked textbook over canned video, and we mixed Foerster and Dolciani depending on the topic. Both of these texts break down the lessons into small bits that progress and have plenty of practice. The main difficulties we had were that the teacher was skipping important chunks and was not presenting any graphical or symbolic explanations (and my lad needed them at this age). So in the dc's math study time, for Alg 1, I would look at math notes and homework assignment and hear child's question, then pick the relevant lesson pages for child to read and do exercises/problems sets so that he could progress to the assigned homework. Our district does not provide math textbooks at all. Its also helpful to have a whiteboard and a ruler to quickly try out thoughts.
