Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
This activity is designed to build students' automatic recognition of common high-frequency words, which supports reading fluency and comprehension. Encourage students to practice regularly and to focus on accuracy before speed. Use the timing as a motivational tool but emphasize progress over perfection. The word list includes 20 common words arranged in a grid to facilitate repeated exposure. Teachers can time students reading the list aloud and track improvements over time.
