Sight words are words that appear frequently in most kids literature.
These words can easy be sounded out.
These words are easy to recognize, which is why they make up most of the words that kids in the first grade are taught.
These words are somewhat foundational in the sense that teaching kids to recognize them is important in developing their reading skills.
Teaching kids sight words will make them confident readers.
Learning sight words in the first grade is considered a major milestone.
The ability to recognize words automatically is a key ingredient for comprehension and fluency.
Kids can read faster since they do not have sound out the word.
Their focus is shifted from figuring the words out to deriving meaning from the sentence.
Below are sight words that your first grader should learn in order to develop their reading ability.
Sight Words
Your child should be able to read these words correctly by the end of first grade.

You can use this list of words to help your child improve their reading skills.
These words can be used in word games, you can have them pasted on the wall so your child can see them frequently and memorize them.
You can be creative with the use of these words by making a sight word game.
Get a marker and paper, write out the words and have your child sound them out loud, he then gets a reward for getting it right.
There are several other ways that you can use sight words to teach your child to read.
