Here are great reasons to practice sight words at home:
- Many of the sight words are read in unpredictable ways
- The first twenty-five words make up 30% of all written material. Up to 75% of the 225 DOLCH words are used in beginning children's books.
- These words may be the springboard to solving new and unknown words (for example: if your child knows the word “who” they might figure out the word “whoever”)
- These words help your child’s writing and may be used to construct new words (if your child can write the word “long” then they can write the word “longer”)
- Knowing sight words helps to develop speed and accuracy while reading
