Ideas for using the phase 3 high frequency word cards
-
Use as flashcards to test knowledge of words which have already been learnt
-
Print two sets and match the pairs (start with just a few words and build up)
-
With two sets of cards, play a memory game, starting with all the cards face down, then taking it in
turns to turn over two cards and read the words. If they match, keep the pair and have another go. If
they don't match, turn them back over.
-
As the child learns each word, stick the card into a notebook. Read through the notebook for revision
and practice.
-
'Hide' a few cards around the room while your child isn't watching, then ask them to find and bring you
the word 'and' for example. Swap places and let them hide the words and name them for you to find.
-
Cut out the cards, stack them together and staple down the side to make a mini book to read and
practise the words.
