This is a book to help young readers learn the "hard words" that are found on first and second grade word lists and in early stories. Examples from first grade school books: "What was that?" "Where were they, then?" "These are their games and there are more." I call these words "sticky words." Kids get stuck on them. Reading easy phrases will help your child to really remember the words that may seem confusing and may even look alike, at first. The practice begins with the list of the words we are using, with each word presented in a short sentence for comprehension. Then, each word is given a page of its own where it is used numerous times in short, easy-to-read phrases. The next step is phrases with two “sticky words” combined, and finally, short entertaining stories. This method unravels the mysterious "hard words."
