Frequently Asked Questions
"Was" is a word with a twist. Read it backward and you get "saw," which is why so many young readers mix the two up. It also does not sound the way it looks: the a sounds more like a short u, and the s buzzes like a z. Pre-K children trace "was," write it on a line and circle it in a row, then circle every "was" in a word grid and count. Kindergartners read and trace it, then read a picture sentence aloud. First graders read a sentence, trace "was" three times and print it three times, so eyes and hands learn the letter order together.
