ELA21.K.16

Recognize and read grade-appropriate high-frequency words with accuracy and automaticity.

COS Examples

Note: As noted in the phonics standards, high-frequency words should be taught with the main emphasis of the lesson being on regular correspondences and patterns within the word. The student should be able to read the word accurately three times in a row on different days to be considered accurate enough to add it to a personal word box, word ring, or fluency folder. Avoid teaching high-frequency words as sight words“ that need to be memorized as a whole word unless there are no regular correspondences in the word. “Of” is an example of a word with no regular correspondences.“
