High Frequency Words
High Frequency or Sight Words are words that come up often and students need to know just by sight. They aren't necessarily words that can be decoded or sounded out and don't always follow regular spelling patterns.
Parents can access a list of High Frequency Words easily at http://www.slcs.us/K_5_High_Frequency_Word_Lists%20.pdf and there are "Heidi Songs" on YouTube, one for each word, that you can show your child to assist in their learning. Here is the link for kindergarten
The Heidi Songs on YouTube, which are available to our teachers through our new language arts program, Benchmark Advanced, also have links to the letters and sounds. They are fun to sing and have gestures that go along with them!
Here is a link to a 60-page High Frequency Word Handbook for parents: https://achieve.lausd.net/cms/lib/CA01000043/Centricity/domain/633/parent_workshops/highfrequencywords/HFWs%20Resources%20.pdf
