Popcorn words are words that "pop" up in your child's everyday reading. We see these "high frequency words" everywhere. Fluent readers are able to read these words on sight without taking time to try to sound out the words or use other clues to figure them out.

In the classroom we place our popcorn or "reading" words on the word wall to remind us that we need to be able to read these words when we see them.

You may print these words out as we come to them and use them as flash cards for your child. A quick review of these words each night will help your child to memorize them. Most of these words are learned by sight.

Happy Reading!!
