[senco-forum] High Frequency Words Reading Schemes

The NLS no longer exists, there is no longer a requirement to teach a list of HFWs as per the old NLS.  

If you look in the new government guidance, Letters & Sounds, you will find that they advocate the teaching of a number of 'tricky' words during each phase, always through the decoding and blending route.  Many of the 'old NLS'  HFWs were completely decodable and are covered at the appropriate stage of the phonics teaching.

Most of the decodeable book schemes which can run alongside Letters & Sounds (or whatever phonics programme the school is using) introduce the 'tricky' words.

Words list and which progresses from the first 45 to the next 200 gradually.

I found a scheme which I thought was called "Words First" but have misplaced
the promo pamphlet and cannot find them on the internet.

If anyone has details of this - or any other good quality - scheme (which is
cheap!) I'd love to have the information.

Thanks,
