Sight words do not follow phonics rules. They are irregularly spelled words that children need to recognize on sight. High frequency words such as I, he, in, on - can be sounded out, but they occur so frequently in text that they too need to be recognized on sight. Both are taught and referred to as sight words. At the end of kindergarten, children are expected to know 30 sight words. This number increases in first -third grade ultimately requiring children to recognize 200+ sight words (11 word lists). Recognition of these words will increase your child's reading fluency.
