This year we will focus on 65 High Frequency Words for the children to recognize quickly.

Our district expectation is that in Trimester 1 they will know at least 10 words, 25 by the 2nd trimester, and 36 by the end of the year.

The words are grouped into set of 5 words, named after an animal on the chart. Your child will have practice charts, flashcards, and other activities, to use to help them learn each "club" of words. Our goal is to test each child, each week, to see if they know all of their current club's words, quickly and easily in order they are given. and If they do, they are earn their way into that animal's "club" of experts, they are given a special badge to add to their collection and are celebrated.
