Children's Year 1 & 2 Literacy Magnet Sets

Each set is 420mm x 190mm making these words quite large, the largest words are about 95mm x 30mm, the smallest 25mm x 30mm. They can be seen from quite a distance.

Years 1-2: these 3 packs together contain the 155 words which children are expected to recognise both in and out of context by the end of year 2.

The National Literacy Strategy is at the heart of the drive to raise standards in schools. Literacy unites the important skills of reading and writing. These magnetic words are the essential high frequency words, which children need to learn to read. Early familiarity with these words will help children to gain the confidence with reading.

The words should be learnt both in sentances and on their own.

The font used is a cursive handwriting font, which is preferred by teachers.
