WHAT ARE SIGHT WORDS?
* Sight words are those most common and frequent words used in our everyday
reading and writing.
* Amazingly, 50% of our written material is made up of 100 of these most frequently used words.
* They are service words which hold ideas together, there is no picture
attachment. They are best learned by sight, not by sounding out.
Learning these words by sight helps readers to maintain speed and fluency by not getting 'caught up' on meaning.
