Two-letter words are the first building blocks of English reading and writing. They appear in every sentence your child reads or writes. Starting with small words helps children:
- ✅ Recognize letters and understand how they combine to form words
- ✅ Gain confidence through quick, easy wins
- ✅ Improve pronunciation and spelling accuracy
- ✅ Understand exam questions and reading instructions clearly
