Sight Word Lists For Young Readers
Sight word lists are a great way to keep your child's literacy skills sharp. These sight word lists are based off Dr. Edward Fry's list and include the most common words in the English language. Mastering these lists can help expose your child to about 90% of words in books, newspapers, websites, and other written materials - increasing their overall literacy and preparing them for the independent reading they will complete as students in middle school and high school.
