Frequently Asked Questions
What are the KG2 English words?
School supplies, the classroom, shapes and colors, days of the week, toys, food, the house and numbers to 20, along with all the letters and reading three-letter words. They’re all on this page with audio and pictures.
What’s the difference between KG1 and KG2 words?
In KG1 children learn a word through its picture and sound only. In KG2 they read it by sounding it out and write it. So KG2 words are more numerous and a little longer, and include sentences: This is a pen. I like apples.
How does a child read a three-letter word?
They say each letter’s sound slowly, then blend them: c – a – t → cat. The method and practice are in the article on reading a first word, and in the “My sounds” pages of the KG2 study guide.
Does it match the KG2 school curriculum?
The topics are the same (school, classroom, shapes, toys, food, the house) with the letters and their sounds. If the school adds words, most of them are in the site’s lessons with audio.
