High Frequency Word Worksheets & Games BUNDLE | Editable Version

Getting students to learn and remember high frequency words can be very challenging! It's also difficult to find meaningful activities for high frequency words (you might call them "sight words") so students can practice independently.

This FULLY EDITABLE High Frequency Words Worksheets and Games Bundle makes all of this easier! This bundle is for teachers who want to give their students meaningful activities so that they can master high frequency words quickly - and improve their reading fluency! And, the fully editable PowerPoint files make it easy for teachers to design pages based on their needs and print them out for in-person learning.

Here's a little background on effective high frequency word learning:

>> Sometimes kids learn high frequency words through rote memorization / visually learning what a word looks like.

>> Unfortunately, research shows that this is not the path to true word mastery!

>> Instead, we need to activate 3 different parts of our students' brains (the sounds, spelling, and meaning of a word).

>> Students also need to continue practicing decoding (reading) and encoding (writing) these words to “make them stick.”

>> This will help these new words eventually become “sight words,” or words a student can recognize instantly.

This High Frequency Words Worksheet and Games Bundle is based on this research! It has students:

1. Activate the part of the brain where the spelling of the word is stored by: tracing, finding, writing, and spelling the word aloud with multi-sensory practice.
2. Activate the part of the brain where the sounds of the word are stored by: segmenting the word and writing the word in sound boxes.
3. Activate the part of the brain where the meaning of the word is stored by: reading sentences with the word, reading passages with the word, and writing their own sentences.
4. Work on retaining their word learning by: playing a variety of games with decoding and encoding practice.

Included in this bundle are:

• 4 unique versions of a focus sheet template that you can edit in PowerPoint for easy use with any high frequency word list
• 2 unique editable passage pages and a blank running record for you to create short stories with your high frequency words
• Fully editable “Find and Sort” pages for students to practice reading and writing high frequency words
• A fully editable page for you to create cloze sentences, where students use their knowledge of sentence structure and high frequency words to fill in the appropriate word
• An editable page for students to practice writing their own sentences that use the high frequency words they're learning
• 1 memory match game for students to practice word identification
• 6 games where students practice decoding (reading) the words
• 5 games where students practice encoding (writing) the words 
• 2 decoding games for every 10 words
• 1 small group Bingo game for every 20 words
• 1 decoding game for every 20 words

Note: This product comes as two separate editable PowerPoint files -- one for the worksheets and one for the games. The product is also designed for in-person learning, meaning the files are set up for easy printing versus displaying digitally.
