This is a resource to help students master the kindergarten 40 high frequency words. The 40 words have been separated into different "having a ball" lists to chunk into manageable goals. Students should work on one "ball" at a time until they have reached proficiency. 

• 1st list: Baseball

• 2nd list: Beachball

• 3rd List: Basketball

• 4th List: Volleyball

• 5th List: Soccer ball

Lists beyond the 5th are extension lists and will be introduced in 1st grade. I include them if families would like to introduce them, but they are not a kindergarten requirement. 

• 6th List: Football

• 7th List: Bowling Ball

• 8th List: Tennis Ball

After mastering a list, I suggest some kind of celebration! Keeping practice fun and rewarding will help students want to continue practicing! See the resources below to help get started! Good luck!
