  • Understand that some words occur in texts more frequently than others, and recognise key high-frequency words
  • Read and understand words on forms related to personal information, e.g. first name, surname, address, postcode, age, date of birth
  • Understand that there are words which are key personal words for them and their situation, identify these words and learn to recognise them
  • Know and apply some techniques for recognising words on sight: length, shape, initial letter combinations, association with other words
