And write an increasing number of high-frequency words: Year 1 English topic guide

read and write an increasing number of high-frequency words

What students learn in AC9E1LY14

This unit helps students build a clear, usable understanding of And write an increasing number of high-frequency words. The goal is not to memorise one answer pattern. Students should be able to explain the idea, recognise it in a new example and apply it in a short practice or worksheet task.

  • Start with the main idea: read and write an increasing number of high-frequency words.
  • Use concrete examples, pictures, oral explanation and short written responses before moving to independent practice.
  • learning an increasing number of high-frequency words and reading them independently; for example, “one”, “have” and “pretty”
  • Finish with mixed questions so students must choose the correct strategy rather than copy the last example.
