Matching Pictures
with their Sight Words
Sight words are also called high frequency words because they appear regularly in your reading
and writing. These are commonly used words that young children like you should learn and
remember. Because of their high frequency, you should be able to recognize, read, and
understand them immediately upon seeing them (Ravitch, 2007) Through familiarization of sight
words, you can confidently read a sentence or a paragraph.
Other terms used to describe sight words include service words and instant words because you
can recognize them instantly. They are also called snap words. These are words that students
will see most often in their reading.
