A word frame containing some of the first 100 high-frequency words. The use of the frame will help young pupils and older SEN students to consolidate the learning of keywords and help them with sentence construction.
Two sets of 10 frames and accompanying writing sheet are available. See below for details.
Set of 10 High Frequency Word Writing Frames and Writing Sheets
10 High Frequency Word Writing Frames and Writing Sheet - Set 2
These resources involve pupils creating sentences with the use of writing frames that contain many of the first one hundred high-frequency words. Writing sentences and reading them back helps pupils to embed and consolidate these words which they will then be able to use freely in their writing.
They are ideal resources for young pupils and older pupils who have difficulty with writing and reading independently. It is particularly appropriate for SEN students who find reading and writing challenging. The support of the frame makes sentence writing accessible and gives pupils a feeling of confidence - that they can do it! Often the key to success in getting pupils to write is giving them self-confidence. I have used these frames successfully over many years to get older SEN pupils motivated to read and write independently.
The resource includes
Ten high-frequency word writing frames containing most of the first hundred high-frequency words -containing nouns, verbs and prepositions.
An accompanying writing sheets for use with the frames that include self-assessment and afl sections.
