Sight Word Games

These Sight Word Games Are Out of Sight

Learning to read can be a long and challenging process for any young child. Once they learn all 26 letters of the alphabet and the sounds each letter makes, they then must learn that those letters don't always behave the way you would expect them to in words. Silent consonants at the beginning of words and silent vowels at the end, letters with multiple sounds, and sounds that could be made by multiple letters--all these little quirks of the English language can make learning to read and write feel impossible to little ones. With sight words, we're able to streamline this process by guiding students to memorize common words, so that they recognize them "on sight." This helps them save time they would spend sounding out each word and potentially getting stuck on strange spellings. Once they build up their toolbox of sight words, they can advance to reading sight words in complete sentences. You will be amazed at how much faster your child will be reading with enough sight words memorized, as their confidence and excitement for reading grows.
