A Sight Word is any word that is known by a reader automatically. Sight Words (sometimes called the Dolch Word List) are some of the most frequently used words in the English language. Even though there are only 220 of them, Sight Words comprise approximately 50 to 70 percent of any given general, non-technical text. Therefore, teaching Sight Words as early as possible is considered a crucial part of elementary education.
