About Sight Words
Sight words are the high-frequency words readers learn to recognize instantly, without stopping to sound them out. Many of them resist ordinary phonics rules: the EI in FRIEND, the silent L in SHOULD and WOULD, the OU in BECAUSE that sounds nothing like it looks. Because words like THEY, ABOUT and WHICH appear on nearly every page of a beginning reader, quick recognition frees attention for meaning. Hunting these eighteen words letter by letter reinforces their shapes.
Reach for this during a reading block or at home when a new reader needs practice with words that phonics alone will not crack.
