What are Sight Words?

The English language is not as straight forward as it seems to us who are fluent in English. Many words are learned through simple disciplinary repetition, not piecing letters together logically like they should fit.

For Example:
• Ground “should” be spelled as “grownd”
• Picture “should” be spelled “pikshur”

Sight words are words that fit this illogical spelling approach. Sight Words Touch Game for Kids uses the Dolch word list, including nouns, totaling over 300 words! According to Dolch research, these words make up 50-70% of the words in childrens textbooks!! You can see how beneficial it will be for anyone who has knowledge of these 300+ words as they enter the world of spelling and reading.

Why Sight Words?

The more children are exposed to English words, both logical and illogical spelling profiles, the easier they grasp the visual aspect of the English language as a whole. This will make it easier for children when they enter the educational system, whether home or public schooled, giving them a tremendous jumpstart on spelling and reading!

• Builds confidence in children with understanding common words to help them better learn more complex words
• Phonics reading is a good tool but not useful for sight words. Having your kids learn sight words assists in helping children decipher differences between words that fit into normal phonetic rules and those that don’t.
• Contextual reading is imperative to learning new words. We do it all the time without even realizing it. The more words in a sentence a child knows, the easier and quicker he/she understands the words he/she does not know. Knowing sight words will give children a deeper comprehension in just about every sentence in any given children’s literature.

Wikipedia Definition

A sight word is a word whose spelling is not straightforward and, therefore, does not enable a learning reader to determine what spoken word it represents just by sounding it out according to the rules. Learning readers recognize sight words from having memorized them or by drawing their meaning from context.

In more linguistic terms a sight word lacks a complete one-to-one correspondence between its graphemes and phonemes and must be decoded on a discourse level. Sight words occur in a language that has an alphabet yet uses a spelling system (orthography) that deviates from the alphabetic principle to varying degrees, i.e. orthographic depth.

Although a sight word is the smallest unit in word-level-up approaches to teaching reading skills, such as whole language, the concept is also used in sublexical (below word level) methods such as phonics, the basis of which is phonemic awareness and the regular spelling conventions of English.

Reading researcher Diane McGuinness estimates that there are approximately 100 common words in English which fit this description. This number is far less than the 220 sight words listed on the Dolch word list.
