Sight Words Level: Understanding the Different Stages of Sight Word Recognition

What are Sight Words?

Sight words are common words that are recognized instantly, without sounding them out. They are typically high-frequency words that appear frequently in text, such as "the," "and," "of," "to," "a," "is," and "it."

Sight words are important because they help children to read fluently and with comprehension. When children can recognize sight words quickly and easily, they can focus on understanding the meaning of the text, rather than decoding individual words.
