Pick from the word bank
Tick the words that fit your theme. These words know what goes with them (a pink pig, a duck that swims), so they can go in any sentence. Faded words aren’t decodable with these skills yet — they’re skipped until they are.
Add your own words
Your own words only go in simple sentences that suit any word — Sam has a ___. · Sam fed the ___. · The ___ can nap. · Sam was in the ___. — and never as plurals. A word that isn’t decodable yet is still used, but it shows amber so you can pre-teach it.
