Look inside the word
ReadPals treats high-frequency words as words to study, not shapes to guess. Regular parts can be sounded out; an unusual part gets extra attention.
Practise online without making an account

A five-minute routine
Keep practice small and specific
Stop while the reading still feels successful. A few careful turns with five cards are more useful than rushing through the whole pack.
- 1
Work with five words
Small groups keep the practice quick. Read each word together before asking the child to try independently.
- 2
Notice the tricky part
Talk about which letters behave as expected and which part must be remembered. Then read the whole word smoothly.
- 3
Put the word in a phrase
Move beyond isolated cards with a short phrase such as “to the dog” or “we can”. Context helps the word become useful.
