Sight Words

Sight words are common words that children need to recognize quickly, like the, and, said, or because. These words often don’t follow regular spelling patterns, so practicing them regularly helps build reading confidence and fluency.

Learning sight words makes reading easier because children don’t have to decode every word—they can recognize some instantly.
