Learning to read is a HUGE milestone! One of the most effective ways to help young children blossom into confident readers is by focusing on sight words. These are high-frequency words that kids learn to recognize instantly, without sounding them out.
Imagine the boost in confidence when your kindergartner can quickly read words like “the,” “and,” or “is”! It makes reading much smoother and more enjoyable, freeing them up to focus on understanding the story, not just decoding individual letters.
