The Importance of Learning the Magic Words
Learning the 100 most commonly occurring words in English is essential to every child's reading success.
The top 100 most common words make up ½ of all reading.
Words like “the”, “a”, “and” are in every book, paper and magazine.
12 Golden Words are the most common words in all reading and make up 1/4 or one in every four words.
Learning the 12 Golden Words allows children to begin reading little books. Children can begin reading small repetitious books, using the pictures, like “This is a dog”. “This is a cat”. “This is a bird”.
