📖 READING (40 Lessons) • 🟢 A. Sounds and Words
Use the picture, first sound, and vowel sound to match each picture to the correct word.
When you read, you often see a picture and a word together.
Your brain can use both to figure out what the word says.
Think about a picture of a sun in the sky.
Good readers use three checks:
If the picture shows a sun but the word is cup, something is wrong.
When you use picture, sounds, and meaning together, you match pictures to words like a reading detective.
Picture: Choosing the word that matches the sun picture.
Now let’s practice together.
On each page of the mini-book, you will see a short sentence. As you read, try to picture it in your mind.
Then ask yourself:
If the picture in your mind does not match the word, stop and try a new word that fits better.
When you read a word, say it out loud and imagine the picture that goes with it.
