- High Frequency Words (HFW) are words that show up frequently in books. Knowing them without sounding them out (memorized and read quickly) help readers become more fluent and with increased fluency comes better comprehension. The following lists of HFW are the words your student will be working on. There are 300 words. Ventura Unified School District's HFW list expectation for an end of year first grader is as follows:
"By the end of 1st Grade, students will achieve mastery at 80% of taught HFW - 107 words or higher."
