What’s included?
This download includes x1 sheet, landscape orientation, pdf format to look at/read ‘tricky’ words (nouns) from the first 200 high frequency word list.
What’s it for?
This activity has been designed to give learners an opportunity to look more closely at a set of the first 200 high frequency words and practise reading these words on sight by looking more closely at them. Learners can focus on the black letters (red letters indicate where the words are tricky) and use their phonics knowledge (and the images provided) to ‘work out’ these words (all nouns).
This is a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently, during ‘busy/quiet times’ or those needing some individual 1:1 support.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for Early Years children/pupils in Year 1 who are learning these sounds (and words) for the first time, pupils in Year 2 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds/words. This resource is also suitable for older learners who need to revisit these tricky words/spelling as well as pupils with additional learning needs.
How to use it?
Learners cut out words along dotted lines provided and (ideally to avoid getting words in a muddle!) look at one word at a time to become familiar with it. Learners can focus on the black letters to attempt (in part) to sound each word out. Learners then match the word with the image - placing each word card on/in the box underneath the images. Word cards are to be secured with glue once learners are happy they have matched the words with the images.
Resource Details…
These words are all from the list of ‘first 200 high frequency words’ to read and spell. This resource has been designed to make the ‘tricky’ part of these words clear to learners. By focusing on the letters which are not tricky learners may be able to use those sounds and other reading knowledge (the shape of the words, matching to the picture cues) to work the words out.
Where individual letters are underlined - this indicates that together these (underlined) letters have one sound, e.g. ‘ey’ in ‘money’. Tricky / ‘irregular’ letters are identified in red, such as ‘a’ in ‘ball’.
