Explore and Master Tricky High Frequency Words with Mini Books

High Frequency words can be tricky — they often don’t follow standard phonics rules, and children need time and multiple exposures to really master them. Our 20 High Frequency Words Mini Books give students exactly that: hands-on, engaging practice that goes beyond rote memorisation.

Each mini book focuses on a single high frequency word, words like all, as, are, at, his, said, one, not, her, had, have, he, so, with, on, they, you, but, for—and includes a variety of fun activities designed to help students truly understand and explore each word.

What’s Inside Each Mini Book

Students will:

• Rainbow Colour It: Write the word using different colours for each letter
• Count It: Count the number of letters
• Circle It: Identify and circle the word in a selection of words
• Trace It: Practice forming the word correctly
• Fix It: Fill in the missing letters
• Box It: Break the word into individual letter boxes
• Find It: Search for the word in a group of words
