Sight words are frequently used words that students are expected to recognize immediately. For example, the word ‘YOU’, is one of the first to be taught. Children are accustomed to reading this word as a whole, not as /y/o/u/.
In kindergarten, children are expected to learn between 20 and 50 sight words, and this number is expected to increase to 100 in the first grade of primary school.
Practicing a lot is the key point in learning sight words. Worksheets and flashcards are a great help to boost children’s knowledge of sight words.
