For reference ease, the Words and Sight Words lists are repeated down the left side of the stories. This way, the student does not have to scroll all the way back to the top of the story to refer to the lists. There are horizontal lines throughout the stories, which signal a repeat of the lists within the stories.
The ir in the word 'girl' is underlined, throughout the stories, to help students who have a tendancy to switch the two letters.
The Sight Words are highlighted in blue, in the Sight Words lists and throughout the stories to help the students immediately recognize the words they cannot sound out.
The words is and his are in the Sight Words lists because of their alternate /s/ pronunciation /z/. Do and to are also in the Sight Words lists because of their alternate /o/ pronunciation /oo/.
Additionally, all Hawai`ian words are in the Sight Words lists. However, their pronunciations are given only on the main list on this page.
