Sights Words

This task helps learners build fluent recognition of the Children’s Picture Book (CPB) 1000 Sight Words—a research-based collection of the most frequent words found in modern children’s literature. The purpose is to strengthen each learner’s ability to automatically recognize high-utility words that commonly appear in texts they read every day. Learners are introduced to words in order of frequency, beginning with those most essential for early reading success. Instruction highlights both decodable words, where learners can apply phonics knowledge, and irregular “heart words”, where certain letters must be learned by sight. Through repeated exposure, guided practice, and reading in context, learners gradually move from effortful decoding to fluent recognition.
