Sure!  The high frequency words are words that the students are expected to read with automaticity.  That means we want the students to read the words within 3 seconds of seeing the word and without sounding them out.  When you look at our word lists you will see 6 columns of words.  Lists A and B are kindergarten words and are expected to be mastered by the end of kindergarten.  Lists C and D are first grade words and lists E and F are second grade words. 

However, these lists are not only for K-2 students.  For example, if you have a third grader you may want them to read the lists to you to make sure they know the words.  There could be some words they don't know due to this being a new program.  In addition, not all first graders will already know A and B so you may want to look back and see what your child knows.

If you find your child needs help with words, flash cards are a great way to practice high frequency words.  Write the words your child is struggling with on flash cards and practice them for no more than 5 minutes at a time several times a day.  Soon your child will know all of the words on his lists!!!
