Mastering High Frequency and Heart Words

Building fluency with high frequency words is one of the most important steps in helping young readers gain confidence and independence. That’s why I created my High Frequency Words & Progress Monitoring Sheets —a resource designed to make practice easy, engaging, and effective for both teachers and students.

What’s Inside

Each set includes:

• Dolch, Fry, & UFLI aligned word lists 

• Flash card–style word practice (just print, cut, and use!)

• Progress monitoring sheets to track mastery over time
  
  

These words provide the repetition and exposure needed to strengthen reading fluency.

How I Use It in the Classroom

I designed this resource as a warm-up activity for reading lessons. Students practice words with flash cards in quick, engaging bursts of learning. Throughout the week, I assess their recognition and track progress on the included monitoring sheets. This gives me a clear picture of growth and helps me adjust instruction to meet each child’s needs.

Why Teachers Love It

• Simple & Effective – No prep beyond printing and cutting.

• Aligned to Standards – Perfect for teachers using Dolch, Fry, or UFLI frameworks.

• Progress You Can See – Easy-to-use sheets help keep data organized and meaningful.
