Sight words are common words that we recognize instantly without having to sound them out. Learning sight words helps us read more fluently and with understanding.
We read sight words by memory. They don’t always follow regular phonics rules, so practice helps us recognize them quickly.
Many sight words are also called high-frequency words because we see them often in books, stories, and everyday reading. Knowing them helps us understand sentences faster.
Think of high-frequency words as “friends” you meet all the time in your reading. The more you practice, the faster you recognize them.
Practicing sight words in sentences helps us see how they are used in real reading. It makes our reading smoother and more natural.
When you read sentences, try pointing to each word as you say it. This helps connect what you see with what you read.
Fluency means reading smoothly, quickly, and with expression. Practicing sight words often helps us read with confidence and makes stories more enjoyable.
Practice a little each day. Sight word fluency grows when you see the words again and again in different places.
