High Frequency Words
High frequency words are the most common
words in our language; they are essential
words as they are needed to make up even the simplest of
sentences. High frequency word lists
are composed of words that can be
decoded (phonics) and a few that that have been termed as
‘sight words’ because they contain more complex spellings
which are not phonically decodable. For that
reason, it is important that we help students learn the
‘tricky’ or complex parts of the words.
