Let's practise a few friendly words!
Linda shared these common beginner sight words to help young readers practise through short, repeated activities. Start with one word, say it aloud, and then try it in a sentence.
Read it. Say it. Try another!
A grown-up can sit alongside the reader. There is no timer or pressure: the aim is comfortable, confident practice.
Word 1 of 30
Put the word to work
We see a cat.
These example sentences are original and not copied from any commercial reading programme. Some use additional simple words.
Grown-up tip: point to each word, read together, and then invite the child to try again. Move on when ready.
Words to revisit
This list comes from words Linda shared in an October 2026 message. It is not presented as a complete or official publisher curriculum.
Real teaching makes the difference.
These practice cards are a small activity for home. They are not a substitute for assessing a reader's individual needs.
