Sight Words Set 7: Learning to Read – What are sight words? – Words we often see and remember without sounding out – Sight words are frequent flyers – Words like ‘find’, ‘my’, ‘no’, ‘red’, ‘see’ appear often in texts – Some words don’t follow rules – Unlike ‘cat’ or ‘dog’, these words may not sound like they look – Recognize words to read smoothly – Knowing sight words helps us read sentences more easily | This slide introduces sight words to Pre-K students, emphasizing their importance in reading. Sight words are common words that appear frequently in text and are essential for reading fluency. They are often irregular and cannot be sounded out using phonics, so they must be memorized. By recognizing these words on sight, young readers can navigate texts more smoothly and with greater confidence. Use examples like ‘the’, ‘and’, ‘it’, and the words from set 7 to illustrate the concept. Encourage students to spot these words during reading time and to practice them at home.
