For sight words, which they have to learn in order to read (these are words you can't sound out; you just have to memorize them), I use Fry's list in terms of frequency. For example, the most used sight word according to this list is "the."<br /><br />I started to notice that male words were on the list of the first 30 words more than female words. For example, "him" but not "her." I figured, like the study of adjectives describing males and females, that this was because of gender bias, that male words like "he" and "his" appeared more in literature than "she" and "hers." So I adjusted my first 30 words so that every time a male word appeared, there was also a female word.barryearlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15047665760261437156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15663150.post-17531662634429464122019-10-09T12:55:37.721-04:002019-10-09T12:55:37.721-04:00Thanks, gwdMaine!
