How to use this list
A child can read the words aloud, point to each one in a story, or pick three and make up a sentence with them. The number in brackets is how many of Peabody's stories use the word, so a higher number is one a child is likely to meet again.
Read the words in a story
Each word is from a story in the library, which is sorted by reading level. A child who reads one of these stories will see the words in use.
