10 min

🎯 What You'll Learn

You will practise reading CVC words quickly and in context to build fluency.

🌟 Let's Start

Reading is like running — the more you practise, the faster you get! At first, you sound out each letter slowly: c...a...t. But with practice, you see the word and say "cat!" right away. Let us practise reading lots of words.

📚 New Concept

Speed reading practice! Read each word as fast as you can:

Row 1: cat, dog, sun, bed, lip

Row 2: run, hot, big, map, ten

Row 3: cup, pin, log, hen, bat

Row 4: rug, fit, mop, den, gum

Now read these short stories:

Story 1: "A fat cat sat on a red mat. The cat had a nap."

Story 2: "The big dog ran to the hut. The dog dug in the mud. The dog got wet."

Story 3: "I got a pen and a pad. I sat at the desk. I did not get up."

Tips to read faster:

  • Look at the whole word, not just one letter at a time.
  • Read a sentence, then read it again faster.
  • Remember your tricky words: the, is, I, to, a, was.
