What is Response to Intervention? (RTI)

Sight Words: Fry/DolchThese are high frequency or commonly used words that young children are encouraged to memorize by sight, so that they can automatically recognize these words in print without having to use any strategies to decode.
Sight words account for a large percentage of the words used in beginning children's print materials. The advantage to knowing these words is so the beginning reader can identify the majority of the words in a text before they even begin to read. This way a child can concentrate on the meaning and understand what they are reading, without having to stop and decode (sound-out) every single word. There are 2 types of sight word lists. Click on the buttons below to check them out. |
