- 3-letter words such as cat, sun and dog suit beginning readers (ages 6–7).
- Sight words are the most common words in children's books (the, said, look, come). Typing them helps with reading as well. Children can read each word aloud as they type it.
- Big words such as rainbow and dinosaur are a challenge for confident typists aged 8–10.
