How it works
Some words come back in every book. These are common words, such as the, and, you, was and said.
Common words are small, and we use them all the time. When a word lives in your fingers, you never have to hunt for it.
Learn a common word as one little tune. Often your two hands take turns: in the, the hands go left, right, left.
Some words use only one hand: was is all left hand, and you is all right hand.
