How to practice at home
- Five minutes, most days. Short and often beats one long session.
- Mix known and new words. Shuffle so your child gets quick wins between harder words.
- Use them in a sentence. After a word is read, say a quick sentence together with it.
- Move on at about 90%. When almost every word is read on sight, try the next level.
