The little words that unlock big books
High frequency words are the words that show up again and again in books: the, and, I, a, is, can, see, we, to. Kindergarteners learn to read a set of them in a snap, without sounding out. Some, like can and it, follow the rules kids are learning, while others, like said and the, have tricky parts kids just remember. Knowing them lets kids read real sentences early: I can see the cat. The click moment is when a child reads their first little book all by themselves.
These words stick with lots of quick, fun repetition. Here's how we build a strong word bank.
Show a word, read it together, then have kids find it three times in a short passage. Finding the word in real sentences beats looking at it alone on a card.
Why it works: pulling an answer out of memory makes it stick far better than rereading it, one of the strongest findings in learning research (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Why it works: the brain holds on to what it meets again and again over time; spaced practice was rated among the very best methods (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

It varies by school, but many kindergarteners learn somewhere around 25 to 50 high frequency words by the end of the year. Ask your child's teacher for their list.
High frequency words are the most common words in print. Sight words are words a child can read instantly. The goal is for high frequency words to become sight words.
Keep it short: five minutes a day with cards, a quick game or reading a simple book together. Point out the words on signs, cereal boxes and in bedtime stories.
Many high frequency words can be sounded out, like "can" and "it." For tricky ones like "said," kids sound out the regular parts and remember the tricky part.
