What are sight words? A simple sight words definition would be common words that a reader should recognize on sight. Sight words are also referred to as "high-frequency words" or "instant words."
Sight words are a group of common words with a high-frequency of use that readers must know on sight, instantly, and automatically in order to develop into an efficient and smooth reader. Some example sight words are a, is, the, of, and, that, in, you, I, and to. The two most popular sight words lists are the Dolch sight words and Fry sight words list.
We will be working on sight words throughout the year. Please work with your child to help him/her achieve automatic recognition.
At the beginning of each unit, I will post the new words on this page.
