First set of words to learn by sight.

      The children are bringing home the first set of what we call high frequency words. These are the words you see most often in written text.

We call these tricky words because they are not words that can be sounded out, but just need to be remembered and learnt by sight.

Please cut these out and blu tac in various places around the house. When you think your child knows them please change their location and learn again. Sometimes children learn the word is in the hall for example and when it is changed to another place they dont know it. When or if your child can already read these words then please practise writing them in cursive writing. Keep doing this until they can write from memory.Thank you.
