Fascinating Fact:

The word my is a word you use to talk about something you own.

In KS1 English Spelling, high frequency words are important because they appear in many short books and classroom tasks. When you can recognise and spell them quickly, it is easier to focus on meaning, punctuation, and good handwriting.

  • High frequency words: Words that show up again and again in books and school writing.
  • Pronoun: A word that can replace a name, such as I, you, he, she, or they.
  • Possessive: A word that shows ownership, like his, her, or your.
What are high frequency words in Year 1?

High frequency words in Year 1 are common words children see and use a lot in reading and writing. Learning them helps children read more fluently and spell everyday words correctly.

What does possessive mean in Year 1 spelling?

Possessive means showing that something belongs to someone. Words like my, your, his, and her can be used to show ownership in a simple sentence.

How can I help my child remember high frequency words?

You can help by practising a few words each week, reading them in simple books, and writing short sentences that include them. Repeating the same words in different ways helps them stick.
