What are sight words?
- Sight words are words that are recognized instantly and without any analysis.
- Many sight words can’t be sounded out because they don’t follow decoding rules.
- Sight words are high frequency words – the words most frequently occurring in reading materials.
- Children who learn sight words have a good base for beginning reading instruction.
- Sight word instruction usually begins in kindergarten and continues into first and second grade, although struggling readers continue learning sight words beyond second grade.
旺旺里介绍phonics的帖子挺多的，词汇量上去后就能读原版儿童读物了，不过读物里常用词占到了50%-75%，偏偏很多都是不符合phonics发音规则的，这里发个Dolch Basic Word List, 分5级（Pre-Primer, Primer, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade，共220个)。配上phonics，孩子读原版书就如虎添翼了。.
