Read the taught words got, saw, keep, leave, cut, open, let, add, watch, don't 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

A pop-up workshop

We got paper and saw a sample card. Keep the fold neat. Cut one flap, open it, and add a shape. Let the glue dry. Watch the flap move, but don't leave scraps on the floor.

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

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 a practice companion. The printable lesson also works away from a screen. Full teaching materials are included with a paid adult account.
