HIGH FREQUENCY / SIGHT WORDS:
These are our high frequency or sight words. It is absolutely necessary for beginning readers to learn to read these words. Many of them cannot be "sounded out". They are the "unimportant" words that help carry the meaning of a story. Children need to be able to recognize them quickly when coming upon them in a book in order to be successful readers. Students who have these words memorized are able to turn their focus to the words in the story that they can figure out by using reading strategies such as using a picture clue or looking at the word structure. It is very important that you support your child at home in learning these words!
