I found this great online game to help your children better learn their high frequency words. We call those words "popcorn" words because they "pop" up all the time in reading. Most of the time we cannot sound out popcorn words. We just have to know or memorize them. The less time we devote to recalling popcorn words, the better our fluency gets which results in improved comprehension. As your children go on to higher grades, words get added to the list.
So far we have formally introduced these "popcorn" words to the students: a and are can do go he I like my see the to we with and you. We also call color words and number words popcorn words. Many more will be coming as the year progresses.
This would be great for a rainy or snowy day!
