- Knowing them by sight makes reading faster and smoother
More words to know
Great work! You already know words like the, and and I.
Now let's learn six more sight words. You will see these in nearly every book you read.
Your new sight words
Read each one out loud. Then use it in the little sentence.
| Word | Use it like this |
|---|---|
| you | you can do it 💪 |
| are | we are here 🙋 |
| was | it was fun 🎉 |
| they | they ran 🏃🏃 |
| said | she said hi 👋 |
| have | I have a pet 🐶 |
Some of these are tricky. Said and have do not sound like they look. So we learn them by sight. Just look and know!
Read it together
Put your new words into reading. Read slowly:
They are my friends.
Try this one too:
Mum said you have a new toy.
Did you spot four sight words in that sentence? Well done!

FAQ
Words like 'said' and 'have' do not follow simple letter rules, so children learn them by sight instead of sounding them out.
