High-Frequency Words
High-Frequency Words
High-frequency words are words that students will encounter often when reading and writing. These words often, but not always, have irregular or uncommon spelling patterns making some of the sounds. Over the next few weeks, we will be reviewing some of the most common words that students probably worked on in Kindergarten.
Flash Words - Words that have regular spelling patterns and can be sounded out, but are so common that it is valuable for students to know them on sight.
Heart Words = Words that have irregular or uncommon parts that students need to remember. Often, some parts of these words are regular and students just have to remember the "tricky part."
Temporary Heart Words - Words where the tricky parts are only tricky because students have not yet learned or mastered those phonics patterns.

We have been reading these high frequency word poems. Read them at home too. Be sure to have your child point to each word as it is being read. This is called tracking and it helps your child focus on the words.
