Fascinating Fact:

The word me is a word you use to talk about yourself.

In KS1 English Spelling, high frequency words are useful because they turn up again and again in stories, captions, and classroom writing. Knowing them helps you read fluently and write sentences without getting stuck on common spellings.

  • High frequency word: A word that appears often, so it is important to recognise and spell it.
  • Pronoun: A word used instead of a name, such as I, you, he, she, we, or they.
  • Object: The person or thing that the action happens to in a sentence, like “Mum helped me”.
What does the word me mean in Year 1?

In Year 1, me is a pronoun used to talk about yourself when you are not the one doing the action. For example, “Please help me” means help the speaker.

What is the difference between I and me?

I is usually used when you are doing the action, like “I ran”. Me is used when the action happens to you, like “Dad saw me”. Both words refer to the speaker.

How do you practise high frequency words for Year 1?

Practise by reading simple books, spotting the target words on the page, and writing short sentences that use them. Repeating a few words often is better than learning many at once.
