Year 1 - High Frequency Words - Part 1
Knowing how to spell is important when writing stories.

Year 1 - High Frequency Words - Part 1

High Frequency Words, Part 1 helps KS1 children in Year 1 learn how to spell some of the common and tricky words they will use in their everyday writing.

There are some tricks we can learn for spelling words but, unfortunately, some of the most common words we use are quite difficult when it comes to spelling them. These tricky words need to be memorised. They are known as 'high frequency words' because they often appear in your day-to-day life. Have a go at these high frequency words and see how many you already know.
