2 Fun Facts - A Series about some High Frequency Words
his - 2 fun facts.MP4my - 2 fun facts.MP4the - 2 fun facts.MP4What are High Frequency Words?
High frequency words are just that: words occurring with high frequency in all genres of writing. It makes sense, then, for students to be able to read and write these words with both accuracy and automaticity.
The 100 most-commonly-occurring English words make up approximately half of the words we use, according to the Oxford English Corpus (OEC). Imagine the power of helping beginning readers to develop automatic recognition of one in every two words they read! If a child can also automatically spell this bank of words, they can direct their focus more heavily on the content vocabulary and syntax needed to express their ideas in their writing.
The spelling of many high frequency words is typically misunderstood and mistaught. While the spelling of many of these words is not straightforward, it can always be explained. In the explanation lies the growing understanding of English orthography.

I have read through the guide and study booklet which arrived very promptly after ordering online (I am in the UK). I am impressed by the clearly explained detail included in the guide about English orthography – I love the idea of including tales about words. I look forward to seeing how to use the materials in the workshop.
