Resource Overview
These words are all from the list of Y1 ‘common words’ to read and spell. Some are also from the from the first 100/200 high frequency word list. It is possible to ‘sound out’ ‘most’ of these words, however some are ‘tricky’.
Resource Details…
At the top-right of each ‘word box’ there is a coloured ‘triangle’. This colour indicates which phonics phase that word fits in with.
Key
There is a colour-code ‘key’ at the top of each sheet to make this colour-coded system clear.
- pink triangles indicate that the words are from phase 2
- purple triangles indicate that the words are from phase 3
- turquoise triangles indicate that the words are from phase 5
- underlined letters indicates that the letters (together) have one sound
- red letters indicate the tricky/irregular letters/sounds.
It is possible to ‘work out’ some words which contain some red letters if the focus is placed on the black letters in those words which should be sounds learners know (depending on which phonics-phase they are competent in).
‘Tricky words’ (which can’t be sounded out) are underlined as one word instead.
The dark grey box outline colour indicates that these words are all part of the ‘colour names’ set. Sets for 'nouns’ and ‘number names to 20’ are available and other common/high frequency word sets are coming.
