The first words are in the golen words list. We are learning how to read and to write the golden, red and blue words. Click on this link to see our word lists and have some fun playing your own games with the words that your child is learning. You can print them off and make card games and bingo games or play hangman or spelling bee. Have fun.   <span style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; background-color: #00ffee;">
