About This Worksheet

This Foundation reading worksheet gives children practice with common high-frequency words they are likely to meet often in early reading. Repeated reading in meaningful sentences helps build accurate and automatic recognition.

I Can Checklist

  • I can recognise familiar high-frequency words.
  • I can read the words in context.
  • I can use familiar words when reading a simple sentence.

How to Use It

Read each word together, then practise it in a short phrase or sentence. Keep practice short and regular. Where a word can be decoded using taught phonics, encourage children to use that knowledge rather than relying only on memorisation.

Parent Tip

Point out one familiar word when reading a favourite book. Ask your child to find the same word on another page and read it in the sentence.
