Every-Day Sight Reading
Every-Day Sight Reading is a one-year curriculum designed to give students the tools and incentives to be independent, proactive learners. This PDF workbook is reproducible. Purchase once and make as many copies as you need for your program!
Practice tracks are available here
Students work through 15 levels of sight reading, each presenting a new concept. Levels have
practice exercises which introduce a new concept in isolation and standard exercises which add
that concept to everything the singer has already learned. Once a student feels individually
prepared, they can Level Up, singing one exercise at random. If successful, they get a reward and
can begin working on the next level.
