Foxton Flashcards - High Frequency Words

These full-colour cards cover the high-frequency words that children encounter when learning to read in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.

Each card has a meaningful sentence clearly printed using a font with a cursive style of script, as used within the National Literacy Strategy.

They also have an engaging picture explanation to build familiarity and aid memory retention. Many of the pictures also connect with others to build narratives that children can explore and play around with. The combination of visual and story-telling memory aids, using our lovable character, Foxton, and his friends, will help children develop a unique and successful bond with these cards that doesn’t come from looking at the words alone.

The cards are most effective when used little and often. Choose a time when children feel happy and alert. A few cards on the fridge to go over during breakfast maybe, or while travelling, or waiting for an after-school class. In the classroom, a few cards before break, and then again straight after break, can be highly beneficial.
