Read them fast, read them everywhere
By 2nd grade, kids are reading longer books, and sight words help them read smoothly. The 2nd grade list has words like always, because, before, their, would. Many of these don't follow regular phonics rules, or they show up so often that kids need to know them instantly. Kids practice reading them quickly, spelling them correctly, and using them in their own writing. The click comes when kids read a page without stopping to sound out every word. That's fluency!
Sight words stick with lots of quick, varied practice. These are the moves we rely on.
A short song for a tricky word like "always" or "don't" gets it stuck in kids' heads. Play one song a day and point to the word on a card while you sing.
Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

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

Second grade sight words include words like always, around, because, been, before, best, both, buy, call, does, don't, first, found, many, their, these, would and write. Many schools use the Dolch or Fry lists.
By the end of 2nd grade, most kids know about 200 to 300 high-frequency words, including the earlier grade lists. Reading them quickly and accurately matters most.
Practice a few words at a time, read them in real books, and play quick games. Have your child spell the words and use them in sentences. Short daily practice works best.
Both are lists of common words. Dolch words are grouped by grade level. Fry words are ranked by how often they appear, in groups of 100. Many teachers use both.
