100% of my students are second language learners so having a clear model for reading and spelling High Frequency words is essential to help them in their reading and spelling development. Since they are in kindergarten, having these words put to music and dance with animation makes the words easier and more fun to learn. Having a little chant and song will help them memorize them more easily.
Each child will have an individual playlist of their special high frequency words that they will access during word study groups. Children will be able to move through their individual word levels at their own pace. I would also show the dvd as I introduce the words to the students so they are familiar before they see them on their own.
