Description: When you couple immediate recognition of sight words with a good knowledge of basic phonics, that's when a child's reading can really take off. Sight words are often words that have little meaning on their own, but they do contribute a great deal to the meaning of a sentence. Some sight words can be sounded out using basic phonic rules, e.g. "it" is an easy word to read using phonics. Many of the sight words are not phonically regular and are therefore hard to read in the early stages. These words are sometimes called tricky words or high frequency words. In addition to being difficult to sound out, most sight words have a rather abstract meaning which is hard to explain to a child. It's easy to learn words like "cat" and "house" because they can easily be related to a real object or a picture, but how do you represent the word "there" or "of"? That is why it is important for students to instantly recognise sight words in order to build up their reading fluency. It is also important for them to practice words in meaningful context through phrase and sentence reading practice. This sight word sentence game is divided into ten stages based on frequency of use and difficulty of the word.
