Instructional Plans:
Ensure students can identify all letters and sounds
Choose texts for guided reading where high frequency words
being taught appear several times (Scanlon, Anderson, & Sweeney, p.
230)
Have students name and write words during guided reading
group (4-8 words per week depending on student ability)
Ensure each high frequency word is added to word wall
Communicate with parents and if applicable intervention/ESL
teachers the high frequency words students are learning each
week
Provide students with appropriate texts and ensure students
have these books in their individual book baskets-texts should
include many high frequency words and should be read
repeatedly
Continue to work on sentence building with students during
guided reading using high frequency words
Create individual sets of high frequency words on notecards for
students, add cards each week-students will keep words at their
desks and practice during independent work times
Provide engaging practice: tic-tac-toe high frequency game,
parking lot, memory, bingo, reading and writing the room
during Daily 5 block
Continue to assess high frequency word knowledge each month
to observe and document student growth
