Reading (sounding out) High Frequency Words (Nouns)

**What’s included?** This download includes x12 sheets, x9 in portrait orientation/x3 in landscape orientation, all pdf format. **What’s it for?** This activity bundle has been designed to give learners an opportunity to look more closely at a set of the first 100/200 high frequency words. This set is 'nouns' which **can** be read by **sounding out the words** as well as matching each word with its corresponding image. This includes four simple, predictable activities to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently or those needing some individual 1:1 support. **Who's it for?** This resource has been designed for Early Years children who are learning these sounds (and words) for the first time, pupils in years one and two who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds/words. This resource is also suitable for older learners with additional learning needs. **How to use it?** An adult can pre-cut along dotted lines provided and the set of x45 words (and images) can be shuffled and placed face-up on the carpet/a table top for learners to read and match. The cut/match sheets learners may be able to cut out the words (at the base of each sheet) themselves. **Resource Details…** These words are all from the first 100/200 high frequency word lists. In the 'word box' at the top-right there is a coloured triangle. The colour indicates which phonics phase this word fits in with. Pink triangles indicate that the words are from 'phase 2', purple triangles indicate that the words are from 'phase 3' and turquoise triangles indicate that the words are from 'phase 5'. The 'key' at the top of each sheet also makes this colour coded system clear. In the cut/match sheets the same colour coding has been used - a pink box outline for words from phase 2, a purple box outline for words from phase 3, a turquoise box outline for words in phase 5 and a grey box outline for words in phase 6+. You can use this colour coding to help you introduce the words (and cut/match sheets) according to which phonics level your learner/s is/are at. Red letters indicate ‘tricky’ part/s where, e.g. the sound may be pronounced differently depending on dialect. Alternatively, the sound may have more than one of the same letter (and sound) which is possible to sound out but irregular. For example in the word 'eggs' the second 'g' is red yet both 'g's' are underlined together. The underline indicates the number of sounds. Where two letters are underlined together - these two letters (together) have one sound. For example in the word 'fish' the 'f' is underlined on its own, 'i' is underlined on its own and 'sh' is underlined with the 's' and 'h' together - this word therefore has four letters but three sounds, f, i , sh. A ‘key’ is included at the top of each sheet (top, right). The lilac box outline colour indicates that these words are all part of the 'nouns' set. The small, white tick (top-left of each image box) indicates that these words are intended to be sounded out. The words on sheets 1 to 9 have been arranged in alphabetical order. **Important message…** ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. *Feedback of this resource would be brilliant.
