Game: Run and read
Tape word cards on walls around the garden or a hallway. Call out a word, and your child runs to find it and reads it. If the word is run, they do one extra lap before you call the next one.

Try “jump” and “go” next: they are action words for busy readers.
Questions about “run”
Is run a sight word or a CVC word?
Both. It is a simple CVC word, but it is also on the Dolch list because it appears in so many early books.
How can I use run to teach other words?
Swap the first letter to make sun, fun and bun. Seeing the -un family helps children read new words without help.
