45 High Frequency Words Flash Cards / Pure Indigo Limited (ePub)

This book is designed to support children's learning of the first 45 high frequency words. These words form the high frequency word list used with reception year children, typically aged 4 and 5, and are required to be read on sight by the end of year.

Once children start to form an understanding of the sounds associated with letters then it is the time to introduce these high frequency words. They will help children to develop their ability to blend the letter sounds into words.

This eBook is purposefully simple in its design in order to not distract children from the exercises. Each page shows either a single word or a single sentence.

Chapter 1: The high frequency words are introduced in small groupings that can be learnt in turn.

Chapter 2: The high frequency words are presented in a random order in small groupings that can be used for word games and testing the development of sight reading.

Chapter 3: Sentences are presented that are made up using the high frequency words. Children may naturally start wanting to put together the high frequency words they have learned into sentences. This chapter is to support in this activity. These sentences are also used as a basis for introducing simple punctuation if so required.

This book should help to:

Develop sight reading
Improve word recognition
Start to think about how words work together to form sentence

Being part of a child's learning journey is really exciting particularly as they start to experience their first steps in independent reading and blending letters into words.
