what makes a word a sight word
Sight words build speed and fluency when reading. Accuracy, speed, and fluency in reading increase reading comprehension. The sight words are a collection of words that a child should learn to recognize without sounding out the letters. The sight words are both common, frequently used words and foundational words that a child can use to build a vocabulary. Combining sight words with phonics instruction increases a childâs speed and fluency in reading. This website includes a detailed curriculum outline to give you an overview of how the individual lessons fit together.
