Bola is reading words everywhere — on signs, on food packets, and in books. She read "BUS STOP" at the bus stop and was so excited! Let us practise reading more words like Bola.

📚 New Concept

Read these words with the 'o' sound:

  • dog — "The dog runs fast."
  • log — "Sit on the log."
  • hot — "The sun is hot."
  • got — "I got a gift."
  • not — "I am not tired."

Read these words with the 'u' sound:

  • fun — "School is fun!"
  • but — "I like mango, but I love banana."
  • gum — "Do not chew gum in class."
  • fig — "A fig is a fruit."
  • bug — "A bug is on the leaf."
  • hug — "Give me a hug!"
  • mug — "Drink from the mug."
  • rug — "The rug is on the floor."

Read short sentences:
