Teaching notes for the First High Frequency Word Booklet
This booklet is a direct result of the new government initiative on phonic
teaching. Letters and Sounds (2007) identifies words which are not
phonically regular and are described as ‘tricky’ to read. This booklet aims
to help children master the reading of the first tricky words that appear
between phase 2 and phase 4 of Letters and Sounds.
Most irregular high frequency words have parts that are phonically
regular. It is important to draw children’s attention to the part that is
regular and the part that is tricky.
“Rather than approach these words as though they were unique entities, it is
advisable to start from what is known and register the ‘tricky bit’ in the word”.
Letters and Sounds 2007
To teach ‘said’
Look at the 3 phonemes. Children can sound out the first and third phonemes.
It is the middle sound that is ‘tricky’.
This booklet contains five lists of 10 words. It is assumed that children
have had previous experience of learning to read the target lists of words
in a games setting by using the word cards to make and read sentences
and by playing games.
 The sentence reading activity is for self-assessment. Children
should tick each sentence they are able to read. This will highlight
words that are known and words that need further re-enforcement.
 The cut and stick activity is to re-enforce word recognition.
 Writing activities for each word list help children to learn to spell
simple words. Magnetic letters offer multi-sensory practice before
spelling. The sentences are for dictation which helps to build up
children’s auditory memory.

GAMES TO PLAY
For Word Recognition
FIRST prepare the flashcards, two for each word, (one white and one coloured).
Lay the white cards face up, saying each
word as you put it down. Then the child
puts down the coloured cards, matching
them to the white ones and saying the
words.
Give lots of opportunity for self-correction: e.g. ‘Are you sure they match?’ etc.
SORTING
Lay all cards face down. Take turns to turn
over two cards, (one white and one
coloured) aiming to find a pair. Cards are
replaced if a pair is not found. Say each
word as the cards are turned over. Keep
going until all the cards have been paired up.
PAIRS
Present cards one at a time. If
your child gives the correct
response, s/he gets to keep the
card. Otherwise, put the card to
the back of the pack, saying the
word and reassuring the child that they have as many chances as they need to
get all the cards. Keep going until the child has all the cards.
