Name:_________________________Score:___________ High-Frequency/ Sight Words High-frequency words, or sight words, are words that students need to recognize automatically. They are the most frequently used words in our language and/or do not fit standard spelling rules. Students need to be able to say each word on this list within 3 seconds, without trying to sound it out. The test is given on the last day of the week.

Ask your child to tell something interesting about each word. For example, “The word ‘around’ has the word ‘round’ in it. The word ‘before’ has the word ‘for’ in it. The word ‘carry’ has two letter r’s and they are together.” While you study next week’s new words, please continue to study any words from this week that are not yet memorized.
