Abstract

For children from English-speaking countries, Phonics is the foundation and pre-reading (pre-reading) for developing independent reading ability. As English reading gradually transitions from pictures as the main part and text as the supplement to text as the main part and pictures as the supplement, the breadth, depth and difficulty of children's reading will continue to increase. You will also gradually find that it is not enough for your children to master phonics alone. .

At this time, Sight Words and Phonics form a perfect complement. The combination of the two helps to improve the child's reading speed and fluency, and fast, accurate, and fluent reading will promote the child's reading ability. Reading comprehension will eventually spiral up to build children's comprehensive ability in independent English reading (including but not limited to reading, comprehension and language sense)!

What are Sight Words?

Sight words, often also called high frequency sight words, are commonly used words that young children are encouraged to memorize as a whole by sight, so that they can automatically recognize these words in print without having to use any strategies to decode.

Take the simplest example, the word away, it is neither a consonant + vowel + consonant (such as cat) letter combination, nor is it a consonant + vowel + consonant + silent E (such as cake) letter combination; at the same time, the two letters a The pronunciation does not match the pronunciation of a in phonics; finally, because it is an abstract concept, it is difficult to explain it clearly with pictures.

Therefore, if you can master Sight Words proficiently, it will be very helpful for children's early reading and writing, because the step of spelling first and then reading in Phonics is omitted, and children do not have to stop intermittently to read first. Spell out each letter of each word and then read the whole word, thereby greatly improving reading speed and efficiency. Therefore, Sight Words are often also called 'service words' (assisted understanding of words) or 'instant words' (instant understanding of words). To put it simply, just like you, me, him, of, place, de, etc., these basic Chinese characters (Sight Words), we understand them without thinking (conditioned reflex) during the process of reading Chinese, and they can be swept away. Does not affect the overall reading experience.
