Sight Words

 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.
