Resource:
Sight words, also referred to as “high-frequency words” should be able to be recognized on sight. They are some of the most used words in the English language and are fundamental in reading. They often don’t follow typical sound patterns, which makes memorization necessary.  For more information on sight words, visit http://www.speechbuddy.com/blog/language-development/what-are-sight-words/.
