pre-primer list

A pre-primer list is a collection of simple, high-frequency words that young children learn early in reading education. These words are some of the first they recognize instantly, helping build confidence and foundational reading skills. Examples include words like "the," "and," "it," and "is." Learning these words allows children to read basic sentences more fluently and prepares them to tackle more complex vocabulary later. The pre-primer list is often used in early literacy programs and teaching materials to support initial reading development.
