English Resource Description
The 'All Aboard Phonics' programme provides a comprehensive teacher manual for Phase 5, Unit 2, which focuses on high frequency words that are essential for developing reading fluency in young learners. These words are commonly encountered in text and often do not follow regular phonetic patterns, making them challenging for children to decode using standard phonics rules. The manual lists these words in a clear, easy-to-read format, allowing teachers to integrate them into their phonics instruction. The words include basic connectives, pronouns, and verbs such as 'the', 'to', 'and', 'said', 'he', 'she', 'are', and 'have', along with more complex terms like 'eye', 'know', 'great', and 'little'.
Each page of the manual presents a set of high frequency words that students are encouraged to recognise and read by sight. This is a crucial step in helping them become more proficient readers. The words are broken down into manageable groups, making it easier for students to learn and remember them. For example, one page includes words like 'was', 'they', 'you', 'on', 'is', and 'at', while another covers 'his', 'that', 'can', 'but', 'with', and 'we'. As the unit progresses, the words gradually increase in complexity, incorporating words such as 'says', 'have', 'some', 'went', 'like', and 'then'. By familiarising themselves with these high frequency words, students can improve their reading speed and comprehension, which are vital skills for their ongoing literacy development.
