Let's Learn to Read Sight Words

Every week students will practice sounding out simple words, identifying letter sounds at the start of words and building CVC words. We will also learn some high-frequency words, that are words that your learner will come across regularly as a reader. These are words that appear frequently in text, and help young readers grow in confidence and skill when they can easily identify them. Not all high-frequency words are easily decodable, so it is important that young readers have the opportunity to learn these words independently. 

1) Every week throughout this course we will build our reading skills as we identify and build phonics and letter sounds to make words. 
2) We will add to students Personal Dictionaries as we slowly learn those high-frequency words, that readers will experience frequently in words. 

Sight words that we will explore every week:
