What is a high-frequency word?

A high-frequency word is a word that appears again and again in books. Words like 'the,' 'and,' and 'is' pop up on almost every page.

What is a sight word?

A sight word is a word you learn to read by memory because it may not follow regular phonics rules.. Look, say, spell, write. That is how you pin a sight word in memory.

Is this true? Expression does not mean using your voice to show feeling when you read aloud.

No. Expression means using your voice to show feeling when you read aloud. You make your voice louder, softer, faster, or slower to match the words.

What is punctuation?

Punctuation marks sit at the end of a sentence. A period means stop. A question mark means ask. An exclamation mark means strong feeling.

Match each prompt to its fact.
