Why Sight Words Matter

Sight words are words that appear frequently in reading and writing. Many of these words cannot be sounded out phonetically, so they must be recognized on sight.

Learning sight words helps young readers:

  • Read more fluently and with better comprehension
  • Build confidence in their reading abilities
  • Focus on understanding content rather than decoding every word
  • Develop a strong foundation for future reading success
