"The, any, who, of, some, they..." There are 250 words that make up 2/3 of the words on the printed page. By gradually and creatively teaching your class these "high frequency" words, over a period of two years (1st-2nd grade), you give them the gift of being able to read most of the words on the pages of their readers. This video tells you what words to teach, how to teach them, and provides a number of fun practice activities to help your students master these crucial gems.
