The certificates can be given at any time that a child knows the words in a particular color. These certificates should be used to encourage young readers and build confidence. Certificates can be produced from the Magic 100 Words Manual, Magic 200 Words Manual and the Magic 300 Words Manual for the words in each colored level - 12 Golden Words, Red Words, Blue Words, Green Words, Orange Words, Indigo Words, Violet Words, Magic 100 Words; Pink Words, Purple Words, Aqua Words, Lemon Words, Lime Words, Magic 200 Words; Pearl Words, Ruby Words, Sapphire Words, Jade Words, Amber Words, Magic 300 Words.
Remember that the Magic Words certificates are given as soon as a child can recognise the words (they do not have to know how to spell and write them). Also, real reading requires children to read words across all of the Magic Words color levels.
Example: I like..., I can..., Look at..., Here is..., This is a...
Always allow children ample opportunity to play games with the Magic Words Playing Cards by matching the words to the book the child is reading.
