SIGHT WORDS!

Sight words are also known as high frequency words (and are also sometimes called Dolch words).


These are words that are commonly used in the english language. 

We read and write these words A LOT. Often, they are words that need to be learned on ‘sight’ rather than through sounding out/phonics strategies.

Knowing yours sight words means you can read with stronger fluency. It improves your general level of reading acquisition.  Being able to spell sight words also helps with writing. Sight words are ‘foundation words’—words we often build our sentences around.
