Wonder Words is a great program to supplement any existing High-Frequency Words programs. Easy to use and kids enjoy using the resources.

My strugglers quickly learnt their first sight words. I have already recommended Wonder Words to others.

I came across the Wonder Words program when I was trying to find resources to help my students who were struggling to recognise the High-Frequency Words. My students have enjoyed doing the worksheets and I often have students asking to do more work with the Wonder Words program.

It’s a great way to systematically expose kids to new words each week and have all the resources to support the learning!
Kim Kutasi, Teacher – Foundation, NSW
Great for at risk students who need scaffolded learning in a predictable manner.
Students enjoy the variety of worksheets. They know what is expected and get started independently.

Students have greater confidence, skill and enjoyment of the text during reading. Do it!

Wonder Words is a wonderful resource! It is easy to implement and effective from the start. Students are engaged through a range of activities and can not only learn to read the word, but are given opportunities to learn to spell the word. The introduction of words fits in beautifully with decoable readers, which means that the students can then transfer their knowledge of these words, as well as their knowledge of phonics into suddenly reading books.
I also love the worksheets as this gives the children opportunity to learn to spell the word and not just read it.
Children who were the most vulnerable, in regards to their reading, have had a huge amount of success. One student who who was on a PM Benchmark 4 (and was on this for a year) has gone onto a Level 10 in less than 10 weeks! This program gave him such confidence! If this program works for the most vulnerable, then surely it will work for the high flyers as well!
Students experience success and this success then catapaults them onto wanting to achieve more! Suddenly children who were reluctant readers are beginning to want to read all the time! It is also such an easy link between home and school. Parents have truly been grateful for this program and they also have noticed the difference in their children’s confidence.

Wonder Words has been a fantastic classroom resource for my students. They have experienced success and built their confidence as a result of the program, and it has saved me a lot of time creating my own personalised resources. Very easy to differentiate and personalise to the needs of my students.
