Today I am practising: rereading high-frequency words in decodable text

Read: I see a bug. The bug is on a log. Underline I and the.

Read the story again. Circle see and is.

Draw the bug and the log from the story.

Answer: Where is the bug? Write on a log.

Read: We can see it. Add this sentence to the end and circle We.

Tell the story in your own words, then reread it smoothly to an adult.

Grown-up note: Ask your learner to explain one answer in their own words.

How to teach this page

Step 1Point to each word only when needed; encourage the child to reread the entire short text.
Step 2Ask the location question after the second read so decoding and comprehension both have space.
Step 3Celebrate a smoother reread, not faster reading.
