Dear Parents, 
The following is an updated list of high-frequency words. Please post them in a safe place. Have your child print each word on an index card and create memory games with 10-12 words each day.  I will continue to  check your child’s progress in identifying high frequency words when we return from our Easter recess.
Thank you!
