Phase 3 phonics: High Frequency Words - decodable and tricky words - EYFS and Year 1 word mats and word cards

These high frequency word cards are perfect to support pupils when learning to read and spell the decodable and tricky words listed in phase 3 phonics lists.

This pack includes the high frequency words listed in phase 3 of Letters and Sounds, as word cards, which could be used for classroom display or as flash cards for reading and spelling practice, and also a word mat. The resources are organised to show which words are decodable and which are tricky words.

How could I use these HFW resource to support learning?

• Words could be displayed in the classroom for pupils to use when writing independently to aid spelling.
• In phonics/spelling lessons, they could be used as flash cards to rehearse reading high frequency words.
• Pupils could use the cards in pairs, with one reading the word on the card and the other writing it, using the card to check spelling.
• The word mat could be made available for pupils when they are writing independently to support spelling.
• The cards could be used as part of an intervention to support pupils who may need more practise to read and spell these words.
