High frequency words are the words that appear most often in printed materials. These are words that often cannot be figured out by the use of picture clues, because they are more abstract in the English language. The high frequency words are provided through lists A-F. The focus at kindergarten is lists A and B, first grade is lists C and D, and second grade is lists E and F. Students will be encouraged to challenge themselves and move to the next list regardless of grade level. For instance, a first grader can be working on list E if he/she has mastered A-D. You can support your child at home by practicing the high frequency words using flash cards, and emphasizing them in your daily reading.
