Phonics Exception & High Frequency Words
Exception & High Frequency Words for the Foundation Stage
Exception words and high frequency words that are commonly taught to children at the beginning stages of learning to read.
Includes 37 Exception and High Frequency words.
Activities includes:
- Word Slides including discussion prompts about using the words in spoken sentences
- Word Line activities
- Flashcards with sound symbols
- Word Maker sheets
The words have been ordered to ensure they are introduced at times that enable you to build upon children’s existing phonics knowledge (for example learning ‘as’ after children have learned the letters ‘a’ and ’s’ and learning ‘the’ after they have been introduced to the ‘th’ digraph).
This allows you to use the unusual sounds and spellings in exception words as a point of interest while also consolidating children’s prior learning.
Each word includes teaching notes to help explain the unusual spellings/sounds as well as discussing parts of the words that children have previously learned.
