Phonics and Sight Words: Two Building Blocks of ReadingPhonics and sight word recognition are common techniques used today when teaching emergent readers. Sight words represent high frequency words, many of which are phonetically irregular. Working with children to recognize these words upon sight, in combination with phonics instruction is an efficient and effective method of teaching children to read. Sight Words Game Jump-starts the Road to ReadingDoctors Edward Dolch and Edward Fry conducted extensive research into how to teach children to read. Their studies found that instant recognition of certain high frequency and phonetically irregular words (sight words) jump-starts the reading process. Learning these words by sight in conjunction with phonics creates a solid foundation for successful reading.
