Each Sight Word Mania story introduces 12 new Sight Words. I've purposely kept the number small so that my students can start reading a real story very soon after learning a few words. But they still need to know those 12 words before starting the story.
Not being a fan of just reading flash cards, I created the game Ready-Set-Read! Children love to race, and race cars are not just for boys - my girls love this game too.

Select the track for the book your child is learning to read. Read through the words and have them repeat the words after you. Point at random words on the game board to quiz them on how well they recognize the words. Once they recognize at least half of them, you're ready to play. They will learn the rest of the words as they play the game. Game instructions are included with the download.
There's a different race track for each Sight Word Mania story, so you can use this game to learn over 100 Sight Words.

Just for fun, race backwards too - from Finish to Start. That brings a lot of giggles from my kids, but I do it to make sure they are recognizing the words and not just memorizing the word order.
