Description

Please read what is included before purchasing this product!

Are you already familiar with phoneme grapheme mapping & looking to integrate your high frequency words with phonics? This scope & sequence is for you!

I've taken 220+ words and sorted them by phonics skill. There are 179 regular high frequency words and 57 heart words.

With this purchase you get the rationale of how I sorted the words and the full scope and sequence. If you are looking for assessments, please check out this version of the scope and sequence that includes assessments for all 236 words.

This is a scope & sequence only, meant to save you time sorting the words yourself. While it is only 2 pages, this took me a long time and I would gladly pay this price to never have to do this again. If you do not feel the price is fair, please remember you are able to do this yourself & you do not have to purchase this resource. Thank you!

This product is discounted on my website.

Please reach out with any questions!

Thanks,

I appreciate the work done on this, but some words are used twice in different areas and I felt like it was a higher cost compared to other similar products.

This resource helped me plan out which high frequency words I was going to teach/review with my students each week. Learning the words grouped by sound was very helpful for a lot of my kiddos.

I love how the list is easy to read and provides enough words for each sound. However, I would like a little more words for each sound category.

This resource was extremely helpful in organizing sight words in a way that aligns more closely with decodable patterns, unlike many traditional word lists. It provided a more logical and accessible progression for students, supporting both decoding skills and word recognition.

Working to realign sight/HF words within SOR practices has required some work. This item helped me organize and group words without all the headache of reinventing the wheel.

I bought this on a sale. $3 for the resource was good for all the work put into it. However a few words are missing "here" is one of them. I like the words listed by skill but would have liked a separate page with the "true" heart words grouped more by their vowel sound the "heart" part.

Sight Words are so HARD for my students to remember. They struggle with which ones can be decoded and which ones cannot be. This is a GREAT resource to be able to help them continue to their skills!
