Ranger Rick Power Pen Learning Book: Sight Words & Word Families

Reading skills are developed through practice, practice, practice! Phonics workbooks and leveled readers are highly valuable for developing a wide range of reading skills, but sometimes our children need a fresh approach to practice these skills. Introduce them to the Power Pen learning system. Power Pens (sold separately from cards) are handy gadgets that resemble a small flashlight. When children place the tip of the pen on an answer circle, instant feedback is received. "Hooray" or "Yahoo" are celebrated with correct answers, while incorrect answers are redirected using gentle, encouraging language. Pen requires 2 AAA batteries (not included).

Beginning with pre-reading skills, each set of full-color cards focuses on mastery of a specific phonics and reading skill set. The sample of Sight Word Sentences reviewed provides practice with the first 100 sight words, color words, and some common nouns. Double-sided, glossy cardstock cards measure 5.5x3.5", and are stored in a cardboard box for added durability. Please note that the Power Pen is a separate purchase, since the same Power Pen works with all compatible card sets and books. Instructions and answer key included. An excellent "grow with your child" resource to conquer skills necessary for reading success. ~Deanne
