Words you know in a snap!
Sight words are the little words that show up everywhere, like the, a, is, and, I, can. Kindergartners learn to read them quickly so they don't have to stop and sound out every word. Many sight words have tricky spellings, so kids learn which parts they can sound out and which parts they need to remember: in "said," the s and d are regular, but "ai" is the tricky part. By the end of kindergarten, most kids read a few dozen sight words automatically. The click moment is when a child reads "I can see the cat" in a flash and grins.
Kids learn sight words by seeing, saying, singing and writing them many times. These moves keep that practice fun.
Play a sight word song and have kids spell along, clapping each letter. Then pause the song and ask them to find the word in a sentence on the board. Songs make the spelling stick, and finding the word connects it to real reading.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Why it works: researchers who compared ten study methods found practice testing is one of the two that work best (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Most kindergarten programs aim for about 20 to 50 sight words by the end of the year. Your school's list may be different, so ask your child's teacher which words they use.
Sight words are common words that kids learn to read instantly, like "the," "and" and "is." Many of them can't be fully sounded out, so kids practice them until they recognize them right away.
They overlap a lot. High-frequency words are the words that appear most often in books. Sight words are the ones a child can read instantly. The goal is to turn high-frequency words into sight words.
Keep it short and playful. Hide word cards around the room for a scavenger hunt, write words in shaving cream, or point them out in a bedtime story. Five minutes a day works well.
