Phase 4 High Frequency/Sight Words on a Bluebell background to form flashcards or part of a display.

A few ideas…

• Perhaps you could cut them out and display them on a bedroom wall or perhaps a fridge? Your children may even love to cut out the cards themselves using child scissors, (under appropriate supervision) and this action may help to keep them engaged further. Children may be more likely to be engaged with the activity of reading the card once they have cut it out and placed it onto their own personal display.

• Print out 2 different themed packs of the same words and challenge your child(ren) to match the pairs of words and read them once they have found a match. (You can always print more or less cards to a page by altering the settings at your end when you print.)

• Use in conjunction with our READ IT, MAKE IT, WRITE IT MAT.

• Play ‘Beat the Parent/Teacher’ - who can read or find the word quickest? Make it fun!

• Lay out a selection of 4 word cards. Begin with them all starting with different initial sounds, e.g. ‘help’, ‘what’, ‘said’ & ‘do’. Say a word from the selection and challenge your child to find it. This activity focuses in on just the initial sound. As your child becomes more confident you may like to challenge them further by adding a pair which have the same initial sound so that they then are required to read more of the word, e.g. the selection becomes ‘help’, ‘what’ ‘when’ & ‘do’.

• Go on a ‘Word Search’ - See if you can find the words in books, environmental text, tablet games, board games, etc.
