Understanding Irregular Heart Words in Teaching

 
Irregular “Heart” Words
 
Irregular “Heart” Words
 
Many common words present challenges to children because
they are irregular in some way.  These words contain elements
that do not follow the most common letter-sound
correspondences, and those elements must be learned “by
heart,” hence the term “heart” words. This collection of “heart”
words contains some words that are 
permanently irregular 
and
others that are 
temporarily irregular
. 
Note that some words may
be irregular based solely on the dialect.
Irregular word:
 A word that presents a challenge for decoding
because either…
o
the sounds of the letters are unique to that word or to a very
small number of words (
permanently irregular
), or
o
the student has not yet learned the letter-sound
correspondences in the word (
temporarily irregular
).
 
Irregular “Heart” Words
 
Many words presented here can be taught in multiple
ways, with different elements emphasized. You may
choose not to use all of the words listed as “heart” words,
or you may choose to modify some slides to better align to
your method of teaching that word. Feel free to copy and
paste the boxes and hearts below to make a slide align
better with the way you teach a word.
 
Irregular “Heart” Words
 
Activity:
 
1.
In this activity, you will help students learn to sound out
words in which one or more letter-sound correspondence
is unusual or irregular.
2.
First, point out to the student(s) all the regular letter-sound
correspondences.
3.
Next, point out the part of the word they will need to learn
“by heart” (i.e., the part of the word with irregular letter-
sound correspondence).

HEART WORD TEACHING TIPS:
o
Look in the notes section of each slide for teacher guidance about
the irregularities.
o
Many slides are grouped because the words lend themselves to
being taught together (e.g., could, would, should; talk, walk).
o
You may want to use the white box below cover the boxes and
hearts when first presenting a word to allow students the
opportunity to identify the irregular part(s) of the word.
REMEMBER:  
Some words are irregular based solely on the dialect.
Others are irregular simply because a particular letter-sound
correspondence has not yet been taught.
