Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to an educational board game and methods to play said game. More particularly, the present invention relates to an educational board game for words, and specially for sight words, sight phrases and/or sight numbers, and methods to play said game.
- Sight words are some of the most frequently used words in the English language and can be seen in the majority of books that students read in and out of school. Many teachers know that learning these words are an essential skill that students must possess in order to increase their success in reading efficiently. There are five levels of sight words which are pre-primer, primer, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and nouns. Sight Words have also been coined numerous other names, to include Dolch words and High-frequency words. However, each name refers to the same general word listing and should not be confused to mean anything differently. The Dolch Word List is a list that was compiled by Edward William Dolch in 1936. The list contains 220 of the most commonly used words in literature which should be recognized by “sight” for fast or “fluent” reading. The compilation excludes nouns, which are comprised on a separate 95-word list. In further explanation, many of the 220 Dolch words do not follow the basic phonic principles, and therefore cannot be “sounded out.” These words should instead be learned by sight and in light of this fact, Dolch words are now often referred to as Sight words.
- A large majority of teachers and parents struggle to help their child/children and students learn to read. Most often, teachers use Sight word flash cards in their classrooms to teach students to recognize these words. Unfortunately, this way of teaching the subject is not exciting, and students easily become bored with the lesson and consequentially do not retain much of the information. In order to rectify this disconnect between teachers teaching Sight words and students effectively learning them, there needs to be a more fun and innovative way of presenting these Sight words lessons.
