Guest Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 When do you start to give out high frequency words? Do you start to give them out even if all sounds havent yet been covered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leapfrog Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Although some children learn the words as whole words before the sounds are secure I have tended to wait until that point is reached - just to keep the focus on sounds really. Once the child has got most of the sounds - so now for a lot of mine this year - I'll send first words home. I have got the first ones up on the door (I have them on bricks...) so some children read them on the way in/out already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 We send them out as soon as we have had our reading meeting each year, about 4/5 weeks into 1st half term. We send 3 words a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I send them out a few weeks into the first half term. We send home 5 at a time on a word string. As soon as they know these we change their string for the next 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfer Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 What's a word string? I'm intrigued? Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hi all, I send them words right from the word go. We use JP so I send sound books as well as words. It worked last year and I'm doing it again this year. 90% of my children were able to read all Reception word by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
