Sight and High FrequencySight words and high frequency words are necessary for young readers to learn because they are the words most often used in reading; these words make up 60% of most printed matter. Sight words are part of vocabulary that is immediately recognized in its entirety rather than requiring word analysis. By teaching these words to children visually, we save them the trouble of trying to pronounce them; This is useful because many of these words do not follow regular phonemic patterns, such as: some and are. Here are some other examples of sight words and high-frequency words: the, that, him, and also. Children are exposed to sight words and high-frequency words every day, whether at home, in the classroom, or by reading signs on the street. . These words are also better exposed through literacy. Reading children's books is one of the most effective ways for children to learn these important words. Since most first graders are unable to read an entire book independently, reading to them several times a day or week can be beneficial for teaching them sight and high-frequency words. The main types of books for doing this are predictable books, legend books, and tag books. Students learn patterns in context as well as vocabulary by reading predictable books. Some examples of predictable books include: If You Give a Mouse a Muffin by Laura Numeroff, Chicken Soup with Rice by Maurice Sendak, and Brown Bear, Brown Bear by Bill Martin. After reading a book such as Brown Bear, Brown Bear, you can create a worksheet that involves children's understanding of the literacy used. For example, you could ask your students to fill in these spaces: “Brown bear, bear ____________ What do you see? I see a bird ___________ looking at me. You can also use subtitle books and label the books this way for your students to learn sight words and high frequency words. However, when using these books, it is important to make sure your children don't just look at the pictures or memorize the text. You can evaluate them by hiding the pictures and showing them the words. Remember, your goal as a teacher is for your students to become independent readers. When teaching these words, they should be taught together, in isolation and in context..
