These are the basic sight words in order from magenta level (level 1 and 2) to orange (level 15-17) Please note that the magenta (emergent) basic words are included in the red list. HOW TO USE THE WORDS
 * Cut them up and use as a recognition game.
 * Use them to make simple sentences. Add some extra nouns and pronouns of your own.
 * practise writing them-set the timer and see how many you can write in 1 minute.
 * Make up a sentence. Write the same sentence on a base card and have your child order and match against the base card.
 * Say the sentence and have your child make it up from memory.

Each week a child on magenta level will bring home a cut up sentence.
