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.
- You start at the correct starting point for the first letter.
- 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
Join - connecting together
Lead out - the stroke or line that guides us to smoothly finish a letter
Starting point - the starting point is the place where we begin to write a letter
Letter string - a group of letters that are written together in a word
Common misconception
Children may want to lift their pencil to add the 'dot' to the letter i or the 'cross' to the letter t half-way through the word.
Remind the children through modelling that the flow of joining is like a river. It only stops at the end or if there is a break letter. Once you complete the letter string, model thinking out loud 'is there anything I need to add to this word?'
