Do you need a resource and routine to directly and explicitly address irregular and high-frequency words? Once Upon an Irregular and High-Frequency Word takes the Fry First 100 Words and Dolch Word Lists Pre-Primer to Third Grade and categorizes them for systematic, structured, and multisensory teaching. Research says we should use a speech-to-print approach and move away from memorizing words, and this resource will support your students in doing just that. The instructor is provided an overview of the categories and a chart that outlines each word defining it is High-Frequency, Irregular, or Temporarily Irregular. The words are categorized using syllable types, spelling generalizations, common irregularities, and other helpful instructional components. Students are provided a word map where the instructor can support the student in hearing the sounds of the word, connecting the sounds to the spelling of the word, analyzing the regular and irregular parts of the word, and then using it for reading and spelling. Mini word cards are provided at the beginning to do an initial check, and the chart is built to revisit for progress monitoring.
