Words that can be recognized this way are known as sight words. While there are many skills and strategies we use to do so, one that gets a lot of time and attention is word recognition.Īlthough not a substitute for the ability to decode (also important!), the ability to recognize some words automatically, or on sight, contributes to reading effortlessly and with understanding.
Teaching students to read is one of the most important (and best!) responsibilities we have as teachers. Each sight word game offers plenty of word recognition activities perfect for beginning readers. Students will love these free online sight word games.
