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.

Wonder Words has made an incredible difference to the learning outcomes in my classroom. My prep students have exceeded expected benchmarks for semester 1 in reading and writing.

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.

Wonder Words is a great resource that you can use for students who need more support. The Wonder Words activities are easy to use and the students love it! I am able to individualize the resources for students who need more support.
It is easy and has great short books, which have relevant pictures and decodable words. Great for those students who have processing concerns. Tasks are easy and step by step instructions

I teach a class made up of students with special needs. It is often difficult to gain and retain their interest and engagement. They consistently need over learning to ensure retention and recall. This programme is highly effective as a way to make a potentially laborious activity fun and not seem like a drill. There are many resources to use to cater to different abilities and I use them in different ways. The resources are visually appealing and capture my students’ interest. My students especially enjoy watching and joining in with the video animations for the list words and the readers. The pictures are childlike and not too busy or distracting. My students’ growth is incremental due to their learning challenges, but they have an overall better recall than before, which is showing up during writing sessions. I have noticed that they are starting to demonstrate improvements with their participation and their recall.

Our Prep Team has implemented the Wonder Words program. It has been an engaging way for students to learn common High-Frequency Words. The different activities ensure different learning styles are catered for and the variety of activities and lists make differentiation easy.

Selina McKinnell, Teacher - K/1/2, NSW
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!
