Reviewing high frequency words, no lead-ins
I can write high frequency words using cursive handwriting.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- High frequency words are words that appear most frequently in written texts.
- Letters in the high frequency words will be joined using a range of joins depending on the letters in the word.
- You start at the correct starting point for the first letter.
- There is appropriate spacing between the letters.
- You don’t lift your pencil until the letter string is complete.
Common misconception
Children can struggle to gauge the size of the gap between the letters joined.
Giving grey examples for the children to trace over can support children to become familiar with the distance between the letters.
