For teachers Who it helps, a 10-minute routine, what to watch for

Who it helpsBeginning readers of any age. That includes older students, adults and English learners who need steady, pressure-free practice with the most common words.
A 10-minute routineMinutes 1 and 2 to set the sound and pick a collection. Minutes 3 to 7 for one trail. Minutes 8 to 10 to practice the tricky words, then read each sentence aloud together.
What to watch forGuessing from the first letter. Leaning on hints for every word. A quiet or unclear voice, which you can change in Practice settings. Nothing is saved, so jot down the tricky words.

One word. One step.

Word Trail

A path winds along a quiet lake. Each stop on it holds one word. Listen. Look. Choose. Take your time.

Ready when you are

1Press the sound button. A voice says a word.
2Find the word on a sign, or build it from stones.
3Collect a charm and walk to the next stop.

No timer. No lost lives.

Words that need a little more help come back later on the trail. That is how they stick.
