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.

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.

An incredibly helpful resource for teaching high-frequency words in a way that aligns with the Science of Reading! The sound-based scope and sequence makes instruction clear and intentional, and the inclusion of Heart Words is a big plus. A must-have for structured literacy planning!

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.

This is a very simple and easy to use scope and sequence for my grade one students. I look through the heart words as I assign my students weekly spelling words based on what reading rule we are doing that week.
