Common Core 1st Grade Reading is a set of high-quality, nationally-accepted, academic standards in reading.  These learning goals outline what a student should know and be able to do before entering 2nd grade.  This first in a series of programs covers weeks 1 through 9 of 1st Grade , where kids learn 22 sight words, such as "could," "know," "every," etc.    Join young host Julianna, who explains what sight words are, and enthusiastically presents each word, sounds it out slowly and uses it in a simple sentence with on-screen graphics and illustrations that reinforce the use of the particular sight word.
