Did someone say, "sight words?"Sight words and high-frequency words are words that occur often in written text. The goal is for these words to be read quickly and easily---this is reading with automaticity. Many of these words are not decodable---or able to be sounded out, such as the word SAID. Words such as these are called red words or trick words.We are using the Dolch List for two levels, pre-primer and kindergarten. Teachers will introduce TWO new sight words each week in most cases---this is updated from the past. Please practice reviewing the words as part of your early morning or evening routine with your child. The benefits of continued practice in small increments are significant! Using games to practice sight words is motivating! Practicing sight words and high-frequency words in context, which is within books and in sentences, is the most meaningful method for kindergarten students to learn to read and spell the words.
