Please remember:

Most vocabulary words must be memorized.
Most vocabulary words can not be sounded out.

Suggestion:

Use index cards to make flashcards.

Keep two piles: those words your child knows and those that your child must still master.

Take time to review the words that your child knows.

However, FREQUENTLY study the words he/she is having difficulty with.

Some children benefit from studying only one or two new words at a time. Once, mastered,

add them to the pile of words your child knows.

In time, you will know if additional study time is needed on weekends.
