The single, most important skill you can teach your child is how to read. Unlocking ideas and facts from the written word provide children the ability to succeed in school and beyond. There are two key areas that parents and educators need to focus on when teaching a young student how to read. When phonics and sight words are used in reading instruction, there is an increased achievement rate with young children. They tend to more easily master reading with greater comprehension.
Phonics is the study and application of the special sounds letters make by themselves and when joined with other letters. Sight words are a select group of words that are seen regularly in English text, particularly that used by emergent readers. When these two areas of language construction are taught together, the child develops a solid grasp of the written word.
