200 Sight Words Activity Worksheets

Sight words are commonly used words in the English language that children are encouraged to recognize instantly, without having to “sound them out” or use decoding strategies. These words often do not follow standard phonetic rules, making them difficult to read phonetically. Recognizing sight words by sight helps children read more fluently and with better comprehension.
