What are sight words?
Sight words are common words that appear most frequently in our reading and writing. Sight words are hard for students to "break down" or "sound out." Sight words do not follow the standard phonics rules. Decoding sight words can be hard or sometimes impossible.
Why should I teach my child sight words?
Sight words help kids become faster, more fluent readers. When kids master a sight word, they no longer have to pause to blend its letter sounds together. And they don’t have to think about phonics rules.
What's the difference between sight words and phonics?
Phonics is a method of teaching beginners to read and pronounce words by learning the phonetic value of letters, letter groups, and syllables. Sight words are common words that are difficult or impossible to sound out because they don't follow standard phonics rules.
Phonics instruction gives students a basic understanding of how letter sounds are made and sound out a new word. Phonics comprehension is needed to have a solid foundation. It helps readers decode words.
