Common English Words: Practice Connections, Not a Fixed List
Use different arrangements of common words to practice character cohesion, and then use new sentences to test the effect of vocabulary practice.
High-frequency words are suitable for familiar actions
Commonly used words are usually easy to understand, which can reduce the reading burden and allow you to focus on connecting the keys. But if you keep typing the same fixed word list, you may just become familiar with the order. Vocabulary exercises require changing the arrangement and context of words at the same time to check whether the actions can be used flexibly.
Leave difficult connections aside
For example, when practicing the, there, and other, observe whether the common letters are connected smoothly. Slowly type each word a few times, then change the order. If there is a pause only in a certain word, check whether the spelling is not clear, not necessarily the same key combination.
Put back the sentence to check migration
Write the word into a self-composed sentence, such as The red cup is there. Keep the capitalization and periods. Sentences will increase the spacing between words and reading order, which can reveal difficulties that are not visible in the vocabulary list scores. Then change to a short passage that has not been memorized before, and do not regard familiarity as the general speed.
Today’s practice and inspection
Choose six common words, arrange them in three different orders, and write two short sentences containing some of these words. Compare the error locations to see if they are consistent. Next time, keep only the really difficult connections, swap out words that are already comfortable, and let the practice continue to provide new information.
