This document provides guidance for practicing reading high frequency words with a child. It lists the words "is", "it", "in", "at", and "I" and provides exercises to click words away as the child reads them correctly. Each correct reading earns 1 point. The guidance explains that high frequency words are commonly used but sometimes difficult to sound out phonetically, and can look similar to other words, making them tricky to read.

7. Guidance
• High frequency words are words that
are most commonly spoken in the English
language.
• They can often be the most difficult as
they are not always phonetically
plausible (the letters cannot be sounded
out to make the word eg the).
• Sometimes they can look similar to
other high frequency words (on and no)
