What is in the set
These words support noticing actions, descriptions and position during a shared reading. This is a deliberately small supplementary set, not a complete list of words from the book.
Act out or point to each word.
Look for describing words.
Connect the word with the page.
Use the cards your way
Play the ReadPals audio when a word is unfamiliar. Ask the child to look at the letters and say the word again without the audio.
Pair up opposites such as big and little or up and down. Act out go and over to make the meanings concrete.
After a few cards, return to your own copy and invite the child to spot one or two familiar words during the read-aloud.
A five-minute routine
Stop while the reading still feels successful. A few careful turns with five cards are more useful than rushing through the whole pack.
Choose one row from the list. Read the words together and talk about what each one means.
Enjoy the book normally. Pause only when the child wants to point out one of the words you practised.
Return to the cards and ask which words the child remembers. Keep it light and stop while the game still feels successful.
