Frequently used sight
words.
Sight Words are numerous and one cannot “sound them out” according to their phonetic spelling pattern
. From the standpoint of spoken language, all words are phonetic. However, the spelling (visual patterns) in
sight words, are such that the common phonic generalizations cannot be applied in decoding. These words appear frequently and must be
memorized.
