What Are Sight Words?
Sight words (also called high-frequency words) are words that appear frequently in written text. Many don't follow regular phonics patterns, so students need to recognize them instantly "by sight." The two most common sight word lists are:
- Dolch Words: 220 high-frequency words organized into five grade levels (Pre-primer through Grade 3)
- Fry Words: 1,000 words organized into groups of 100, with the first 300 covering about 65% of all written material
When students can recognize these words automatically, they can focus on comprehension rather than decoding.
Tips for Teaching Sight Words
- Introduce 3-5 words per week: Small groups allow for the repetition needed for mastery
- Use multi-sensory approaches: Combine seeing, saying, tracing, and writing
- Practice in context: Have students find sight words in sentences and books
- Review regularly: Use Bingo and Roll and Read with mixed new and review words
- Make it fun: Games keep students engaged during repetitive practice
