First Grade High Frequency Word List
First grade students are expected to know the 71 Kindergarten high
frequency words and 143 additional high frequency words by the end of
the school year. Students are asked to read these words aloud from a
list. Words are scored as being correct if they are recognized and
pronounced accurately and quickly. Mastering increasing number of
high frequency words is evidence that students are moving toward
becoming fluent readers.
The emphasis on these basic words is to promote reading success for
students by establishing the opportunity to acquire vocabulary that is
encountered consistently in printed material.
Acquiring a large reading vocabulary is the foundation for the
comprehension of printed text. This is a key to reading success.
