High frequency words

High frequency words

High frequency words are quite simply those words which 

occur most frequently in written material, for example, 

"and", "the", "as" and "it". They are often words that have 

little meaning on their own, but they do contribute a great 

deal to the meaning of a sentence.

You can do this at home by writing the word onto small 

pieces of paper yourself or you can buy the cards pre made 

and also use a “free” on line site and print them out.

I have posted three examples below.

Since starting school in September 2018 my son had his first parents evening and is currently on his second level 1 book at school.

What I have found is that despite him being at school a lot of the leaning is still on the parent/guardian to be very involved in the three 

“R's” at home.

1. Reading
   
2. 
   
   
   Writing
3. 
   
   
   arithmetic

This is why I quest myself and think that may be I should home school and save myslef the time and money it costs to take my son to school every day on public transport.

At the moment I get “free” travel for him until his fifth birthday. I will then have to start paying about £700.00 per term for bus fare and my own on top.

To be continued.

Home schooling my son with Flash Cards from at aged two.

I have always found flash cards to be a good way for learning at home and is something that even the schools do too.  My son gets four words to learn and when he knows them he gets another four added to them.
