How to teach “go”
Go follows a simple pattern: when o ends a short word, it often says its own name. Say “go” with a starting-race feeling and let your child run on the spot. Then pair it with no and so, which work the same way.
Sentences with “go”
- Go, go, go!
- We go to school.
- Can I go out to play?
- The cars go fast.
Game: Traffic light reading
Make a green card that says go and a red card that says stop. Hold one up while your child walks around the room. On go they move, on stop they freeze. Then let them be the one holding the cards and reading them.
Practise next
Try “come” and “away” next: they also describe moving from place to place.
Questions about “go”
Is go too easy to practise?
It may feel easy, but quick wins are important. Fast, confident reading of go and the other small words lets children save their effort for new words.

They are rule-breakers. Go follows the usual pattern, while to and do borrow a different sound. Practise go first, then compare.
