Word List: Idea #57

You have been reviewing letter sounds with your student for almost 2 whole months now. At this point your student has mastered many letter sounds. Make a list of the letter sounds they know, and have them start sounding out words that contain those letters.

For example, if your student knows the following letter sounds: A, B, C, F, P, S, T

You might have them practice sounding out the following words: bat, bats, cab, cabs, cap, caps, cat, cats, cast, fat, fast, past, pat, pats, sat, tap, taps, tab, tabs (maybe you can think of more).

Although these words are simple and short, these are the sounds your student may have mastered. Naturally these words will be pretty easy for your student to sound out since they already know the sounds. What a great way for your reader to gain some confidence and realize that they can actually read!
