Ten words a child should never have to sound out again.
Teaching mode fills the screen with one step at a time, large enough to read from the back of the room.
You are not expected to improvise in front of forty children.
Say this out loudThis word is "the". Say it with me — the. Now watch it go down on the floor.
What to watch for:Do not spell the word out. These words are learned by sight, not sounded out — that is the whole point of them.
Say this out loudI will hold up a card. If you know it, say it. If you do not, wait and listen.
What to watch for:Children calling out the wrong word are still trying. Say the right word once, calmly, and move on.
Say this out loudThis sentence has one of our words in it. Come and put your finger on it.
What to watch for:A child who reads the whole sentence to find the word is doing more work than asked. Let them.
Say this out loudChoose one card. Say that word to somebody at home tonight.
What to watch for:Children who cannot choose are usually unsure of all ten. Give them the easiest one.
