Sight words make up the majority of words read each day. Also known as high-frequency words, sight words need to be recognized quickly so the child is not struggling to read them in sentences.
Most sight words cannot be sounded out. Children need to memorize these words so they can be recognized on sight, without using any reading strategies to decode these words.
Playing games with sight words is a fun way to practice reading and memorizing. Practicing and memorizing sight words will make your child a more fluent reader! Research shows that more fluent readers have greater comprehension of what they have read!
