Popcorn Words

During the course of this year the children will begin to build a bank of sight words to add to their 'reading skills toolbox'.  In Prep B we call these sight words Popcorn Words - because you should recognise them as quickly as popcorn popping in a pan!

So far we have introduced three Popcorn Words...
 
I and my and see
 
You can help the children remember these words by identifying them in bedtime stories, writing little stories using the words as sentence starters, or making little flashcards or memory type games.  Even leave little notes for them to find with the words on.  It's meant to be fun and enjoyable - and exciting and rather clever too!
