How to use it
Choose a word list, or type the words your child’s class is working on.
Print the pages, on cardstock if you can, and cut along the dashed lines.
Start with a few words at a time, and add new ones as those get easy.
Keep it short and playful. A few minutes at a time is plenty.
Make it last: print on cardstock, laminate it or slip it into a sheet protector, and use a dry-erase marker or Velcro dots so you can use it again.
Questions parents ask
Where do these word lists come from?
They’re common early reading words, grouped the way many classrooms group them. Schools use different lists, so your child’s teacher may have one of their own.
Can I use my child’s school list?
Yes. Replace the words in the box with your own, separated by commas or spaces. Any empty spots on the last page print as blank cards.
How many words should we work on at once?
A handful is a good start. Add new words once your child knows the ones they have, and mix in the old ones so they stay easy.
Is it really free?
Yes. One email unlocks this and every other tool in the library, and you can print as many as you like. Your email also brings one short story each Tuesday, and you can leave anytime.
