I incorporate the high-frequency words in their daily instruction in preparation for the administration of the High-Frequency Word Evaluation. I sent the HISD High Frequency List home today in your child's Blue Folder.
Because parents play an important role in helping their children become good readers, they are encouraged to read to their children and to have their children read to them daily. Additionally, parents can use flashcards and have students recognize high-frequency words in books and in the environment. Students should practice reading these words quickly and effortlessly.
The test will be administered twice, once in November to check the students progress and again in the spring. The children are to know the words by the spring, but I say…the sooner, the better!
