Being good at reading is trickier than knowing how to sound out the letters in words. Many words in the English language (over 50%!) can’t be sounded out phonetically (decoded).
Words that can’t be spelled or read using the letter-sound correspondence taught to students in phonics programs are often dubbed sight words or high-frequency words.
If less than 50% of all English words can be sounded out phonetically, being able to recognise sight words is essential when teaching children to read. Our sight words content capably helps teachers build this skill.
– Over 300 of the most common sight words
– Hundreds of high-frequency words
– Sight Word Readers for students in Prep to Year 2
