What educators are saying
Description
Do you need to give your students extra practice for Irregularly Spelled or Heart Words? The varied practice in these worksheets will help students think about each word several times in different ways: reading, writing, sounds, and using in context with sentences.
Irregularly spelled words may be called “heart words”, “high frequency words”, or “irregular words”. These are words that occur so frequently that they need to be learned before the student has been taught how to decode this word. Some ‘heart’ words will become decodable in later lessons, such as ‘go’, ‘and’, ‘as’. Some ‘heart’ words need to be learned “by heart” if the sounds cannot be decoded according to the phonics sequence being used.
These worksheets may align with the UFLI Scope and Sequence Lessons and may also be used for other systematic synthetic phonics programs that teach irregular/heart words. NOTE: This product is not endorsed by UFLI Foundations nor is it affiliated in any way. No part of this product copies any material found in the manual or the toolbox.
Contents: 122 pages, one page for every irregular/heart word. For the longer words, the separate tracing “write it” and “count it” boxes are not on the worksheet.

1.read the word

NOTE: this is not a stand alone teaching resource. These are practice worksheets designed to be used after explicit teaching instruction that you would use from your phonics program.
