Words we know in a blink!
Sight words are the little words that show up everywhere: the, said, was, of, they. First graders learn to read them instantly, without stopping to sound them out, so their reading flows. Many of them can be partly sounded out (like "can" and "and"), and a few have a tricky part kids just need to remember, like the "ai" in said. By the end of 1st grade, most kids know well over a hundred sight words. The click comes when a child reads a whole page and doesn't get stuck once!
Sight words stick through lots of quick, fun repetition. These are the moves we use every day.
Teach a new sight word with its own song. Kids spell it out loud with the music, then find it in a big book. "Said" is a great one, since kids sing right past its tricky middle.
Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).
Try it withSaid Song (Animated Music Video)VideosOpen it →Hold up a word for two seconds and have kids read it, then flip to the next. Keep a pile of "got it" words and a pile of "almost" words. Revisit the almost pile every day until it's empty.
Why it works: a big review of study methods ranked quick self-quizzing among the most powerful ways to remember (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).

Most 1st graders learn about 100 to 150 sight words by the end of the year. Many schools use the Dolch or Fry lists to decide which words to teach.
Show the word, say it, spell it, and sound out the parts that follow the rules. Then practice a little every day with songs, games and real books. Short daily practice works better than long sessions.
Both. Many sight words follow phonics rules and can be sounded out. Only the tricky parts, like the "ai" in said, need to be memorized.
Write words on sticky notes around the house and read them when you pass by. Sing sight word songs and point out the words in bedtime stories.
