Recognizing High-Frequency Sight Words

You have learned to blend CVC words, read digraphs, blends, and silent-e words. But some of the most common words in English do not follow those rules — they must be memorized by sight. We call them sight words or high-frequency words.

1Recognize 12 high-frequency sight words instantly by sight without sounding out
2Understand why sight words must be memorized rather than decoded phonetically
3Read sight words accurately and fluently in sentence context
