Reading Words

This is a list of high frequency words your child is expected to know before going to first grade. Knowing these words will give your child an added advantage as they begin to learn to read books. They will see these words (we call them STAR WORDS) in our centers and reading groups. Make flash cards for your child so you can practice at home.
