Sight words, also called trick words or high frequency words, are the most commonly used words in a language. These are the words children are encouraged to memorize as a whole by sight (can read in a snap) without having to use any strategies to decode.
Sight words are often words that don't follow conventional spelling patterns so sounding them out is difficult and why a student should instead memorize them.
When students have a wealth of sight words their reading fluency and comprehension improves. When students spend less focus on decoding words they are able to spend more focus on comprehension of words read.
