Words you can read instantly are considered “sight words”. Most often we think of these words as the words we see most frequently in text, however, any word can become a sight word.

One aspect of fluent reading is building a large sight word bank. Knowing words by sight frees up brain power to be able to read tougher words that demand stronger decoding skills. You can help your child grow their sight word bank by practicing quick recall of the attached word lists.

If you are needing to pick your student up early for any reason, please feel free to email the teacher to let them know, and then call the office about 5-10 minutes before you need your student in the office, and we will call them down!
