The High Frequency Word Project, 2nd Edition by Rebecca Loveless and Fiona Hamilton – Hardcover (ISBN: 9798218642792)

By Rebecca Loveless and Fiona Hamilton

The High Frequency Word Project, 2nd Edition by Rebecca Loveless and Fiona Hamilton is an explicit, systematic literacy teaching resource designed to help educators teach high-frequency words through the structure and logic of English orthography. Published by Swallowtail Press, this hardcover edition explores 130 high-frequency words through etymology, morphology, phonology, meaning, word history, and grapheme-phoneme connections, helping teachers move beyond rote memorization and toward deeper orthographic understanding.

Designed for elementary teachers, literacy specialists, reading interventionists, structured literacy programs, dyslexia tutors, school districts, teacher training programs, curriculum coordinators, homeschool educators, education departments, school libraries, and institutional procurement teams, this resource supports evidence-informed instruction in spelling, word study, reading fluency, vocabulary development, and high-frequency word mastery.

What This Book Does

This book helps teachers explain why high-frequency words are spelled the way they are. Instead of treating commonly used words as random “sight words” to be memorized, it shows how word history, meaning, morphology, phonology, and letter-sound relationships can make spelling and reading more understandable for students. The resource includes professional learning, word explanations, teaching routines, word lists, activities, games, assessments, and printable classroom supports.
