Words we know in a snap!
Sight words are the little words that show up everywhere: I, the, a, is, can, look, and. Kindergartners learn to read them in a snap, without stopping to sound them out every time. Many of these words are partly decodable, so kids map the sounds they know and learn the tricky part by heart: in the, th is regular, but the e is the "heart" part. The click moment is when kids read their first little book on their own because they know most of the words.
Sight words need lots of short, fun practice. These moves make that practice stick.
Play the "I" song and have kids point to the word every time they hear it. Sing it every day for a week, then add a new word. The tune helps kids remember the spelling and the word.
Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Why it works: pulling an answer out of memory makes it stick far better than rereading it, one of the strongest findings in learning research (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Why it works: the National Reading Panel found that systematic, explicit phonics teaching clearly improves how children learn to read.

Many schools aim for about 20 to 50 sight words by the end of kindergarten, but goals vary. Focus on reading them quickly and correctly in books, not just on flash cards.
Start with common words like I, a, the, is, can, see, look and and. These words show up in most early reading books.
Both. Kids sound out the parts that follow phonics rules and remember the tricky parts. This mapping helps words stick better than memorizing shapes.
Use a few words at a time. Write them on sticky notes around the house, play games, and read simple books together. A few minutes a day is plenty.
