Many "sight words" do not follow the basic phonics principles, thus they cannot be “sounded out.” Students can use some basic letter-sound knowledge with these words, in fact that is encouraged, but knowing these frequently used words is the first step in reading success. Beginning readers need an effective strategy for decoding unknown words, and being familiar with sight words is an effective method. Why is knowing sight words so important? Sight words promote reading confidence. Because the first sight words represent over 50% of English text, a child who has mastered the list of sight words can already recognize at least half of what they read, especially in beginning books. Sight words help promote reading comprehension. When reading a book for the first time, students will already know at least half of the words. These are just a couple reasons why sight word practice early on promotes fluent and confident reading. It is our hope that the pages that follow help your child read with confidence!
