Description
The science of reading tells us that the Heart Word method is an effective way to teach kindergarten, first and second-grade students high-frequency words. Using orthographic mapping strategies, the heart word method teaches students to sound out the parts of irregular words that do follow phonics rules. Students then only need to learn a small portion of the word that is the “tricky part” by heart.
This resource is science-based and includes everything you need to successfully teach your students how to use the heart word method to become successful readers. The heart words digital teaching slides are FULLY EDITABLE. Easily edit this resource to fit the needs of your students and your teaching style. This NO PREP resource will save you time and allow you to feel confident while teaching your students to become heart word masters!

My students love learning about new heart words. It makes high frequency words so much more accessible rather than telling kids they just need to memorize them. This bundle makes teaching and learning these words easy and fun.

Ms. Winter has created a beautiful and critical resource for our students. I will be using this with my Newcomer ELLs to practice reading and spelling these complex words that tend to confound them as they continue to refine their literacy skills.

My students have been motivated to learn heart words when I give them these activities. The explicit instruction and orthographic mapping of this resource helps student master these words that can be challenging.

This resource is a serious game changer! My students have been able to master challenging words and i’ve seen such a difference in their reading. They love to point out the tricky parts in words 🙂 This is a must have resource!

Heart words have completely changed how I teach sight words to my students. This resource was easy to implement and fun to use. The teaching slides keep my students focused as words are introduced. They are quick to point out the number of taps, the sounds you can hear, and the tricky part in each word. The worksheets are perfect to use during literacy centers and easy to differentiate with. This resource is invaluable! I highly recommend it!

Best resource ever for heart words. I love that it requires no prep and includes digital version. I feel like I learn about the science of reading just by using it

This is a must have for anyone using heart words. I recommend this set to anyone I know who is teaching the heart word process. They are a quick check in at school after introducing a new word. My favorite part is that we can send the page home and have the kids teach their parents. This process makes sense to me as an educator – but it is very new to parents. This set is the the perfect bridge between school and home that can be managed by the kids!

I have been using this product for several months now, and it is FANTASTIC! I can’t cheer about it enough. My district has begun pushing out a phonics program, but does give us very good resources. We do one Heart Word every week, and I love the simplicity of having all the slides ready to go. They work beautifully. The worksheets are a great supplement to the lesson as well. Thank you so much for a great, easy to use product!!
