Sight words, often also called high frequency sight words, are commonly used words that young children are encouraged to memorize as a whole by sight, so that they can automatically recognize these words in print without having to use any strategies to decode.
Sight words account for a large percentage of the words used in reading materials for young children. The advantage for children being able to recognize these words automatically is that a beginning reader will be able to identify the majority of words in a text before they even attempt to read it; therefore, allowing the child to concentrate on meaning and comprehension as they read without having to stop and decode every word. Advocates of whole-word instruction believe that being able to recognize a large number of sight words gives young children a better start in learning to read.
With our sight words app, parents and teachers can create custom word packs for their children and students with the help of our in-app and web-based word pack generator. These packs are easily imported to the app and your child can start learning new words in seconds. If your child needs a little help on that tough word, just press and hold on the screen and a helping voice will read the word aloud. Learning to read has never been so fun & easy!
