Why Sight Words?
The 224 “sight words” taught in Samson’s Classroom make up more than 50% of all English text. If your child learns to recognize these words by sight, they’ll have a head start on any reading material they pick up!
Confidence
Watch as your child gains confidence and becomes less discouraged while reading new and challenging materials!
Comprehension
Being able to breeze through their sight words, your child will be able to focus their attention on more difficult words they haven’t yet mastered.
Context
Your child’s knowledge of sight words will provide the clues they need to decode unfamiliar words found in more advanced texts.
After trying it out myself, I was amazed at how fun and educational the games were. So I let my 5 year old daughter give it a try. She begged me to order the Home Plan! She uses it every day!

We’ve been using Samson’s Classroom for a little over a year now and we have seen great gains in building sight word recognition, especially with the younger children, and in their ability to spell the words correctly. Once they know the words, they know them backwards and forwards and can read them in all forms of media. The students love the interactive games and earning trophies.

Samson’s Classroom is a great resource. Three of my students have finished all levels and have mastered all 220 Dolch sight words. The five different games help the children master the words. If they are having problems with a word, I just have them do the first activity again so they can learn it. The children really enjoy playing the games.
