Wonder Words is an effective, fun way to teach High-Frequency Words. It is comprehensive and assessment is on a three weekly basis. This provides an opportunity to concentrate on words students have not identified yet. It’s effective and user friendly. It is a systematic approach to learning sight words. My Kindergarten students love this program.

Easy to follow program that supplements your current High-Frequency Words program; encourages independent work skills.

Wonder Words is great value for money that is easy to use and easy to implement with any existing program. Students love the activities that are quick and fun. The worksheet activities are fun and need very little preparation, as you just need to print them. I use reusable plastic sleeves and place the worksheets in them for the students to use with whiteboard pens. They also love the interactive books with the High-Frequency Words in them. No more searching for texts that target specific High-Frequency Words.

Wonder Words has been such a great resource for my class. I have been able to easily adapt it to suit my class and it fits in with the other spelling resources we use. Not only does it allow for easy differentiation, but also covers many High-Frequency Words, while using fun games and books for students to use. It allows you to teach High-Frequency Words and reading all in one. Great resources, especially books that allows kids to use and understand the words in context. My students know how far they have progressed and they are only 5! They are so proud of their achievements and so am I. Thanks Wonder Words!

Our Head of Special Education recommended Wonder Words. It’s good to have printable, web based resources. It’s an easy program to pick up and run with. Give it a go!

The Wonder Words program is a fantastic resource for the classroom and at home. I was struggling to find resources that matched the words my students were learning to the books they were reading. New words that they had not already learnt was a major problem. I found that I could use the program to differentiate for and extend students who were doing well with their High-Frequency Words and also support those who were struggling. I made individualised spelling lists for students and use the worksheet to support student learning.

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!
