Frequently Asked Questions
Which -eg words will my child read and write?
The word list covers leg, peg, beg and keg, and the later pages use -eg words in jumbled-letter puzzles, sentences and a short story.
How is this different from the no-writing -eg pack?
The no-writing pack only asks children to point, circle and match. This pack adds spelling, sentence building, a short story and comprehension questions, so it is best done after the no-writing pack.
How can I help my child spell -eg words?
Say the word slowly, one sound at a time, and write each sound as you hear it: l-e-g. Then change only the first letter to spell the next -eg word.
How many pages are in the -eg reading and writing pack?
There are 7 printable pages. You need a printer and a pencil.
