How to use this sheet

  • Read the word to the child first, use it in a sentence, then have the child read it.
  • Work on three to five new words at a time, and mix in a few that the child already knows.
  • After the sheet, write the week’s words on cards and play a quick game: read the card, keep the card.

Common mistakes

  • Guessing a word from its first letter, so "went" becomes "want". Have the child look at every letter.
  • Mixing up words that look alike, such as was and saw, or of and for. Work on those pairs side by side.
  • Reading the word on the sheet but not in a book. Point the word out when you read together.
