Learning to read is a huge milestone, and it’s so rewarding to watch kids discover the joy of books! One tool that can make a big difference in that journey is the humble sight word. These are words that kids learn to recognize instantly, without needing to sound them out.
Think of sight words as the building blocks of reading fluency. The more sight words a child knows, the easier it becomes for them to decode sentences and understand the overall meaning of a text. Less decoding, more comprehension, which is the ultimate goal!
