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.
