Does this sound familiar?

You've introduced the word. You've drilled it on flashcards. You've added it to the word wall. But somehow, your students still aren't retaining it. It might be because they’ve never actually read it in context. These high frequency word poems are the solution!

Each poem puts the target word where it belongs - living inside a real story, not sitting on a flashcard. The poems are story-based, perfectly rhyming and impossible to read without a smile. Designed for choral reading or echo reading, they're the reading routine your class will look forward to.

What's included:

• 100 original poems — one for each Fry’s First 100 word
  (themes: animals, family, food, seasons, school life, imaginative play)
• PowerPoint version — project straight onto your screen or interactive whiteboard, no prep required
• PDF version — print for a non-screen reading or classroom display

·        Two spelling versions included — British/Australian (e.g. favourite, mum) and US (e.g. favorite, mom)

How do I use them?

Good news — there are no rules! Here are a few ideas:

• Just introduced a new HFW? Pull up that poem and read it together (either echo reading or choral reading)
• Want a morning warm-up your class loves? Choose one poem a day and make it part of your routine
• Want to really lock in a word? Spend a whole week with one poem, then film your students’ best choral read on Friday and post it to Seesaw — the parents will love it
