Kindergarten Word List

Our kindergarten word list consists of words that are commonly found in reading
and writing. In class we call these words popcorn words as they pop up in
everything we read and write. These are words that we all must be able to read
automatically in order to be strong readers. The goal is that by the end of the
year children are able to read all the words without having to stop and think.
Depending a childs learning style there are many ways to practice these words.
We tap the words out on our arms. Your child can teach you this practice.
Children may enjoy writing the words in sand, shaving cream, paint or other tactile
mediums and then reading the words. Colorful flash cards are helpful for some
learners. Practice, practice, practice is a must!
