High Frequency Words

Please find below a list of the high frequency words that your child will be learning at school. High frequency words are common words that appear very often in written texts. They are a mixture of decodable words (words that can be easily sounded out) and tricky / exception words (words in which the English spelling code works in an unusual or uncommon way). It is important that your child learns how to read these words as they will make up a large proportion of the words they will be reading in everyday texts. At school your child will be learning these words as part of their phonics lessons and they will bring high frequency word sets home to practice.
