Listen and point
Look at the six pictures. What can you see?
Today you read, not your grown-up.
Being written
This one is planned but not finished yet. Everything below is what it will contain.
Not drawn yet
I can read a word all by myself.
The five steps on this sheet, in the order a child meets them. This is what you will actually be doing, not a description of the method.
Wonder
Today you read, not your grown-up.
Listen
Nothing to listen to. This one is yours.
Explore
Look at the word. Say each part. Then join them.
Share
Read all four to someone. Out loud.
Print the one that fits today. Same skill, three depths — and on this sheet they differ like this.
Two words, both already met on earlier sheets.
Fewer items, more pictures, hints included, parent reads the instructions.
Four words.
The standard task, recognition, practice and explanation.
Cover the pictures and read the words with no clue at all.
Open-ended. Explain why, make your own example, use it somewhere new.
The same guide that is printed on the back page, so you can read it before you decide to print anything.
The answers
بَاب · قِطّ · شَمْس · بَيْت, all met on earlier sheets, deliberately. Nothing new is being asked; only that it is now unaided.
If they get stuck

Common mistakes
When they finish early
Write one of the four words on a card and hide it in the house for them to find and read.
