Since the use of sight words is essential for fluency in both written and spoken language, all teachers should have a good grasp on what “sight words” are, and why they are so important.
Sight words are the most commonly used words in the English language and are found in virtually every piece of text. Sight words could be thought of as the mortar that holds the bigger pieces of meaning in our sentences together. Many of these words do not comply with common phonemic rules, making them difficult for a learning or struggling readers to sound out. Most sight words are prepositions, adjectives, and verbs.
These words work to make our language flow, but many do not have an obvious meaning that could be explained or illustrated visually. For example, try to explain or draw a picture of the word “the”. There are over 1,200 sight words between the Dolch and Fry word lists, and the memorization of such a long list is daunting (and boring). Essential Skills sight words programs include over 1,000 interactive learning activities to build and reinforce sight word vocabulary in a fun and engaging way.
