High Frequency Words
High
frequency words are the most common words used in
print. As children
learn to read it is
important for them to learn to read commonly used words by sight
for two
reasons.
- Many of these words are not easily decodable.
- If children can recognize words automatically it helps them speed up their reading and makes it easier for them to understand what they have read.
Here are some high frequency words:
