Year 2 Semester 2 Phonics & High Frequency Words – School & Home Version
Following an extensive literature review, PLD has upgraded our approach to high frequency words (HFW). In a recent blog, a range of tips were provided to remove the confusion that surrounds sight words. Since that point, we have developed our approach further. Our 2020 approach to HFW tackles three commonly encountered issues:
- Teaching HFW in the order of frequency is important, however, the complexity and the composition of the words require a greater level of consideration for an early literacy learner.
- Applying a set of HFW to a year level (e.g. The first 100 words in Foundation, the second 100 in Year 1 etc) does not take into account the developmental level that students are operating at, and which HFW match the class’s phonic and phonemic awareness knowledge.
- The existing evidence-base consistently argues for HFW to be presented within an SSP program. Although this is repeatedly stated, it is unclear how the amalgamation of phonics and HFW should actually occur.
It is in direct response to issues such as these, that we at PLD embarked on the following process:Â
- Rather than focusing upon individual HFW lists, we amalgamated the words that occurred within a range of HFW lists commonly used within Australia.
- With the expanded HFW list, we organised the words not on the basis of frequency of occurrence, but in terms of their location within PLD’s SSP progression.
- The remaining irregular HFW or complex words (with sophisticated or advanced phonic concepts) were clustered according to spelling patterns and frequency of occurrence.Â
- All words were colour coded to illustrate the relationship between the sound and phonic structure.

Decoding and Spelling Games – Stage 2
A program to develop single word decoding and spelling skills for students operating at Stage 2. Games and tasks for targeted small groups and home programs.
Over time children become more efficient in a visual and an auditory sense. For example rather than decoding the word ‘teeth’ in three parts the word may be decoded in two parts (e.g. t-eeth or tee-th). Decoding and Spelling games for ages 6 to 7 is designed to provide further decoding practice to help students establish automatic word recognition. Single word spelling involves three primary core base skills: Auditory skills Visual skills Fine motor skills Once this spelling process has been rehearsed the students can typically spell the word automatically and often through the application of letter names ‘c-h-a-i-n’. Students will typically read better than they will spell. This is because the recognition of the words (i.e. reading) is typically much easier than the reproduction of the letter sound correspondences to formulate the words. Features: Single word phonic word attack skills require explicit instruction and repeated practice. Once single word skills are established, they are more likely to transfer across to written work. The program is designed for individuals or small groups of students who require repeated opportunities to consolidate spelling and decoding. This program revises stage 1 phonic concepts before stage 2 phonic concepts are applied to decoding and spelling tasks. The game-based activities provide multiple opportunities to rehearse word attack skills at a reading and spelling level. The programs within the range include: Decoding and Spelling Games – Stage 1 Decoding and Spelling Games – Stage 2 This publication is mentioned within the Year 1 & 2 Teaching Sequence Manual on pages 13 – 16.
