Chapter 4: Sight Words
Learn common words that children should recognize quickly without sounding out every letter.
Goal: Help students read faster by remembering common words and using them in simple daily sentences.
What Are Sight Words?
Sight words are common words we see many times. We learn them by memory.
We do not stop to sound every letter. We read them quickly by looking.
Example: I, the, you, is, go
Common Sight Words
- I /aɪ/
- you /juː/
- the /ðə/
- is /ɪz/
- it /ɪt/
- go /ɡoʊ/
- see /siː/
- come /kʌm/
- here /hɪr/
- my /maɪ/
Reading Without Sounding Out
When students know sight words, reading becomes faster.
Example: Instead of reading t-h-e slowly, students quickly read the word “the”.
- I /aɪ/
- the /ðə/
- is /ɪz/
- go /ɡoʊ/
- see /siː/
- come /kʌm/
