You may also be interested in our Ready2Read program that
combines both phonics AND sight words! As an educator, I
understand that children need both components to successfully
learn how to read. What is a sight word? Sight words and High
Frequency words are essentially the same. They are words that
kids should memorize and account for a large percentage of text
that is read. Here are some statistics: - 12 Sight Words make up
25% of those we read and write. - 100 Sight Words make up 50% of
those we read and write - About 300 Sight Words account for 75%
of those we read and write Although many sight words are
phonetically decodable, it helps to memorize these words so that
the sense of what they are reading is not lost. Therefore, it
makes it much easier to focus on decoding less frequent words in
a text. The pre-primer (Dolch List) printables include: a, and,
away, big, blue, can, came, down, find, for, funny, go, help,
here, I, in, is, it, jump, little, look, make, me, my, not, one,
play, red, run, said, see
