Lesson details
Key learning points
- High frequency words are words that appear most frequently in written texts.
- Letters in the high frequency words will be joined using a range of joins depending on the letters in the word.
- The first letter of the word always has a lead in and the last letter has a lead out.
- There is appropriate spacing between the letters.
- You don’t lift your pencil until the letter string is complete.
Keywords
High frequency word - the words that appear most frequently in written texts
Lead in - the stroke or line that guides us into starting a letter
Lead out - the stroke or line that guides us to smoothly finish a letter
Join - connecting together
Letter string - a group of letters that are written together in a word
Common misconception
Children may tend to forget the lead in for the first letter.
Keep reminding children to say to themselves 'ready, line, go' before starting to ensure they are prompted to start on the baseline with a lead in.
