Words For Kids From A to Z – Damn Good Mom
PreK/Kinder Activities ·
Here you’ll find a list of words for kids.
If your little one has mastered letter names and letter sounds and can identify capital letters, the corresponding lower case letters, and letter sounds – you’re in the right place.
Now, it’s time for words. Little words. Big words. Kid words.
If your goal is to teach your child to read, consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words are a great place to begin followed by sight words.
Don’t worry if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed, it’s likely that your little learner has already begun to learn the words he or she is hearing every day. You get the pleasure of introducing alphabet activities that support early literacy in a fun way.
Below you will find a list of words for each letter of the alphabet. If you want more than a list of words, take a peek at my list of beginner reading and spelling worksheets for kids and enroll in an Outschool class today.
Although this is a list of common and easy words for kids and early readers, remember children are open to learning almost everything we present them. In fact, according to the Mayo Clinic, children can grasp as many as 1000 words by the age of two. It’s Amazing!

A fun way to encourage students to remember important vocabulary words is to ask them to draw one of the words.
Give them some "free draw" time to select one of their vocabulary words on a sheet of paper. For example, someone who draws "ancestor" can draw their grandparents or someone else in their family.

Alphabet for kids Learn Letters
Description
The Russian alphabet has become free! We decided to support our users who are now unable to pay for purchases. Learn letters and learn to read with pleasure!
CosmoPanda Alphabet for Kids is an educational app for preschoolers, a fun and exciting way to learn the alphabet, letters, spell words, learn to read and get ready for school.
• Choice of voice acting for letters:
Taking into account the recommendations of speech therapists and teachers of preschool education, the CosmoPanda application has 2 voice acting modes - “like letters” and “like sounds”.
Tip: First we learn the sounds, learn to read, and then the letter pronunciation.
• Alphabetical learning order selection:
Choose whether to learn letters in alphabetical order (ABCD) or vowels first, then consonants (AOIUEY).
We advise you to start learning letters with vowel sounds (and not letters). Then, having learned a few consonant letters, the child will already be able to compose simple words - Mom, Dad, House, Cat, Juice, Cancer, etc.
• Video cards with letters of the alphabet:
Alphabet - we show 7-8 video cards for each letter of the alphabet.
First, we show the children simpler words with the letter being studied, and then more complex words in which we learn letters that are in the middle of a word or occur several times. There are more than 300 beautiful voiced Doman video cards for children in the primer:
- the alphabet of animals (domestic and wild)
- the alphabet of birds
- the alphabet of food (fruits, vegetables
- the primer of equipment and household items
- the primer of transport and cars
- the primer of sports
- primer of professions and names of hobbies
This method of learning allows not only to learn the alphabet for children, but also to pump erudition, learn new words, learn new unusual animals, plants and equipment, and as a result, we learn letters and learn to read.
• Educational games to reinforce learned letters:
After a few videos of learning letters, children can play educational mini-games.
It can be a logic game or an interactive quiz to consolidate knowledge, during which, among other things, we learn to read.
- find the letter, move the object with the letter
- choose a picture with the letter
- insert the missing letter
• Montessori and flashcards Doman
"CosmoPanda" is suitable for teaching the Montessori method. Watching interesting videos, the child does not have to learn the letters in a certain order. We learn the letters that make up the word in the video by clicking on the white voiced cards with letters and immediately learn the whole word. The application can be used like Doman cards.
• Statistics
Monitor your baby's progress with learning statistics. Follow the progress of the child, identify which letters are easy for the baby, and which ones should be paid more attention.
Learning the alphabet for children is now easy, exciting and fun. Learning to read words with CosmoPanda.
Children's application does not contain ads. Internet connection required. The first ten letters are available for free. Access to all the letters of the alphabet and educational games is paid, with one payment - forever, without subscriptions.
