Dear First Grade Families,
On the back of this letter is a list of the 100
high-frequency words that our first graders need to know by the end of the
school year. This list of words represents 50% of all the words children
encounter in elementary reading. Most of these words are “sight words”, which
do not follow phonetic rules so memorizing these words is essential in becoming
a fluent reader and writer.
*Play games with them such as Bingo
*Repetitive reading
*Writing practice
Please keep this in your homework folder and use it as
a study guide. As the year progresses, I will change this information as a way
to continue necessary practice at home.
Thank you for your commitment to our students!
