Look each word up in a good dictionary. Write a sentence for each word on the list, or if you can, a paragraph using as many of the words as you can.
Help the pupil to chunk words where necessary. Say the word and listen for the natural breaks. They often come after the vowel sound. Remember - each chunk of a word must contain a vowel - or a vowel sound (in the case for example of words with 'y' making a vowel sound.)

The Concert
Paul played in a concert at a large music hall in London the next December. He was very excited to be playing in such a big concert, but he was very nervous before the concert started. They played the introduction, and then Paul had a special part to play by himself. One lady started to cough as he played, and he thought maybe she did not like the music. However, the audience was thrilled and did not pause to applaud loudly at the end of the concert. One man, with auburn hair, even stood up and shouted, "More, more!" Paul felt like a fraud, as he did not think that his playing was that good. He did not enjoy all the attention.
