Words We Use All the Time

I can recognize because, could, would, and should in sentences.

Let’s get started

High-frequency words make our reading smoother. Learn them within sentences, not just by memorizing lists.

Learn together

  1. Read: “I stayed inside because it rained.”
  2. Read: “I could make a kite.”
  3. Read: “I would help. I should be kind.”

Example to explore

because • could • would • should

Try it yourself

  1. Choose the word that explains why: “We came in ___ it rained.”
  2. Fill in: “I ___ help you.” (a polite possibility)
  3. Write a sentence using should.

Hands-on project

Create a four-box comic with one sentence for each focus word.

Reflect and grow
