What Are Sight Words?

There are two different types of sight words. First, there are words that don’t follow the phonics “rules” so kids need to memorize them.

There are also words that are frequently used in writing so it is easier for children to remember them.

That way, they can build fluency and don’t have to sound them out every time they are reading.
