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.Â
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.Â
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!Â
For extra practice, find the word your child is working on and print.Â
