About Sight words

”Sight words” is the term for words that readers should recognize instantly. Recognition is important because sight words are so frequently used—making up, by some estimates, 50 to 75 percent of all words that children are likely to encounter. It is also important because many of them do not sound as they are spelled, making them difficult to sound out using knowledge of phonics.
Having the sight words within his or her repertoire gives the child a better chance to grapple with more difficult and infrequent words without losing the sense of what is being read.

The sight words include commonly used words— words that are ubiquitous and important to understanding. They are a very important stepping stone towards reading.

A sight word is any word that is known by a reader automatically. Sight words are pronounced without decoding the word’s spelling. A common first sight word is a child’s given name. Beginning readers are at an advantage when they learn to read sight words that occur frequently in print such as those included on the Dolch and Fry word lists. It is possible to read a word on sight but not know the meaning of the word. For example, a child might be able to read on sight “there, their and they’re” but not understand the differences in meaning.

In phonics instruction, sight words refer to common words where one or more phonemes in the word has a unique spelling that cannot be sounded out using common phonics rules (for example: aunt, friend, and sieve).
