What’s it for?

This (first) 100 High Frequency Word Activity set is designed to help young learners become more familiar with these words, to both help with on-sight recognition and providing opportunity to sound out some words (where possible). Learners can either work on this as an independent matching activity or as part of a group game (with up to x9 players), instructions for both activities are included (page 11 of the Word Boards).

Matching

Learners work independently or take turns to select a word card from an organised grid. Where a learner selects a matching word card, learners position this on top of the same word on their word board. Each word board includes x12 words to match. All of the first 100 high-frequency words are included across the nine (different coloured) matching word boards and a colour coded, numbered reference sheet is included to make the order and organisation of all words clear.
