thank you .. I don't think DS's class do them tbh ..at least haven't seen or heard of them

You may find, especially if the school are doing a very phonic based reading and spelling approach, that they don't really focus on the 'high frequency' words'. I used to only focus on the ones that were really hard to read phonetically, so didn't bother 'sight-learning' words like.....
dog
big
can
on
see
it
and
....because children learnt to sound them out anyway. Of the 45 words the children only sight learnt.....
I
go
you
are
the
of
was
come
we
me
she
they
my
no
he
all
said
....because they were hard to sound out. HTH

thanks

yes first year employing phonics for school

I'm sure DS could do them all though

in ds's school the have the 45 key words. They started in Sept coming home with 2-3 words/week laminated and put in a folder in his book bag. He had learned all of the words by Easter.

Recently his teacher gave me a list of Year 1 & 2 words for him to look at. This method of learning has really worked with him as when he sees a key word in a book he says it immediately. I bought a pack of ladybird 100 words flash cards from Waterstones which include the first 45 words and he is learning a few more words each week because he wants to. A lot of them are quite difficult to sound out phonetically.
