About Sight Words

Most young children are taught to read using sight words. Sight words are words that are recognized instantly by the reader without having to use any decoding skills. These words make up the majority of the text in beginning reader books. Mastering sight words is essential for beginning readers because it allows them to focus on the meaning of the text, rather than decoding individual words.

Most sight words are words that cannot be sounded out, and must be learned by sight. They are sometimes also called high-frequency words because they occur often in print. In order to learn sight words, it is important for students to be exposed to them frequently. This can be done through a variety of activities, such as flashcards, matching games, and writing practice. It is also important for students to be able to read these words in context, so they can understand their meaning.
