Guest Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Hi all does anyone have a copy of the high frequency and the weeks in which they should be introduced according to the letters and sounds document? Many thanks Lola
HappyMaz Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Here's the link to the PDF of the Letters and Sounds document - hopefully it will contain the info you need! Maz
jowhiley Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Hello, sparklebox has the key words listed and I think they are in order. Jo x
catma Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) The focus is more on common words which can be decoded using phonics as they are taught through the phases and then "tricky" words i.e. those that don't behave according to the rules. It's all clearly laid out in the first part of each phase in the L+S book, starting with phase 2 as phase 1 is obviously less specific. If you haven't got the booklet (which from the original query is what I infer) I would strongly recommend you get it as you have a lot of other support materials linked to the tricky words, the letter groups for introduction, the teaching sequence etc etc. Cx Edited October 5, 2008 by catma
Guest Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 catma is right I have been involved in a CLLD project with our LA and the whole focus is on Phase 2 and 3 of letters and sounds and actyually getting the children to blend and segment. The games and songs are fantastic and our children have made so much progress. we do not even mention high frequency words anymore.
catma Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Emilia - glad to hear that it is working well for you. We are a CLLD authority too so it's close to my heart!! Cx
Shiny Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Emilia - glad to hear that it is working well for you. We are a CLLD authority too so it's close to my heart!! Cx We have just become a CLLD authority. I am a Governor at my sons school and we have just started (initial cluster meeting last week). My preschool has also joined up as a feeder to the school so we will all benefit!! It is very exciting.
