Practice Heart Words
High-Frequency Words that are irregularly spelled are called “Heart Words” because some part of the word must be specifically taught and “learned by heart”. Students will come across these words often so they need to be able to read and spell them automatically!
HERE are heart word flash cards for extra practice.
Here are some ideas to help you practice writing heart words at home:
