The words that don't sound out can be frustrating for both of you!
Why "the" trips them up
Your child can sound s-a-t-p-i-n perfectly — but "the" doesn't follow the rules. That's what makes it tricky, and why these words need a little extra practice.
Each card is marked with a cluster of red dots, so you always know which group you're on.
The everyday words they'll meet first — short and common.
Next up, once the first group feels easy and familiar.
The trickiest of the lot — conquered last, but celebrated most!
Repetition is the secret. Little and often!
The cards teach the tricky words. Your Happy Little Doer takes away much more.
Once the tricky words are known, whole sentences stop snagging.
A little and often, from Reception right through Year 2.
The activities turn revision into a game they ask for.
