Here you’ll find a list of words for kids.

 

If your little one has mastered letter names and letter sounds and can identify capital letters, the corresponding lower case letters, and letter sounds – you’re in the right place.

 

Now, it’s time for words. Little words. Big words. Kid words.

 

If your goal is to teach your child to read, consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words are a great place to begin followed by sight words.

 

Don’t worry if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed, it’s likely that your little learner has already begun to learn the words he or she is hearing every day. You get the pleasure of introducing alphabet activities that support early literacy in a fun way. 

 

Below you will find a list of words for each letter of the alphabet. If you want more than a list of words, take a peek at my list of beginner reading and spelling worksheets for kids and enroll in an Outschool class today.

 

Although this is a list of common and easy words for kids and early readers, remember children are open to learning almost everything we present them. In fact, according to the Mayo Clinic, children can grasp as many as 1000 words by the age of two. It’s Amazing!
