Sight Words Set 1

Learn 10 important words you will see everywhere! These are words we recognize instantly - no sounding out needed!

📖 What Are Sight Words?

Words We Know By Sight!

Sight words are special words that we learn to recognize instantly, just by looking at them.

We don't need to sound them out letter by letter - we just SEE them and KNOW them!

These words appear in almost every book, story, and sentence you will ever read.

Why Learn Sight Words? Many common words don't follow regular spelling rules, so we memorize how they look. When you know sight words by heart, reading becomes much faster and easier!
