Welcome, Friends! Let's Make Tricky Words a Little Less ... Tricky!

Hello and welcome!

We're so glad you're here. Whether you're a parent, teacher, tutor, or someone who just loves helping kids learn to read, you're in the right place. This space is all about supporting young readers - especially when it comes to those tricky high-frequency words that don't always play by the rules!

If you've ever heard a child try to sound out a word like "was" or "said" and watched the confusion set in ... you know how important it is to give kids the tools to remember these rule-breakers. These are words they'll encounter again and again, so building confidence and fluency with them is key to developing strong reading skills.

That's where Tricky Words comes in!

This blog (and our app!) is dedicated to helping children not just recognize, but truly retain these high-frequency words. We'll be sharing helpful tips, bite-sized strategies, and insights you can use at home or in the classroom. Our goal? To make learning fun and effective!

Follow along to discover how you can support your learners every step of the way-with the help of the Tricky Words app and a community that's here to cheer you on.

Thanks for stopping by-and stay tuned! We can't wait to share more with you.

With joy,

The Tricky Words Team
