Duck Level Words
By linking the speech sounds (with Phonemies), the spelling (the letters), and the meaning, children store words in the orthographic lexicon, quickly recognise words by sight and know when they don't look right when writing the words. These high frequence words are important.
They are exposed to lots of high frequency words within the One, Two, Three and Away! series.
Start the 36 Mapped Pre-Readers when children have moved to the SSP Yellow Code Level.
Watch the video lessons, use your Duck Hands when ready - pause and write when ready!
Watch the 2 Minute Monster Sounds video daily until you know them!
Over 400 words often called common exception or high-frequency words recognised on sight and spelt correctly in writing within 12 months, before Year 1.
“When you show the sight word code, there’s no need to teach sight words.”
