Read the taught words came, went, found, put, take, move, follow, back, off, live in plain print and supported text; explain the text’s meaning and build or spell a selected word when ready.

In the learner’s words: I can read the words, explain their meaning, and use them in my own sentences.

A look inside

Follow the rescue route

A toy fox came off the shelf. We went to look and found it behind a box. Follow me back. Take the fox, move the box, and put it where our toy animals live.

Teacher-supported practice text. An adult reads untaught words; learners read taught targets and discuss the meaning. This is not a controlled decodable passage.

From a few words to a little discovery.

The complete lesson pairs this reading sample with teacher-led word practice, conversation, and a student response. Its printable materials include word cards for revisiting the same words and a separate answer key for the grown-up.

Use Glow Sight Words as an optional practice companion alongside books and explicit reading instruction. The printable lesson also works on its own.

Glow pathways: Pre-K and Kindergarten starters from the first hundred; Grade 1 first hundred, Grade 2 second hundred, Grade 3 third hundred. These grade assignments are Glow’s teaching choices.

All 100 words in Fry’s 2nd 100 group. Ten banks of ten, each divided into three short sessions. Grade placement is a Glow pathway, not an official Fry level.
