Introduction to Sight Words.

Reading is one of the most critical skills taught at school. It is virtually impossible for a person to live a productive life in our society without being functionally literate. Children with reading difficulties will undoubtedly have trouble mastering nearly all school subjects even if they are motivated to study. Conversely, children who learn to read in the early grades acquire one of the most basic skills needed to continue their education and be fully-functional as adults.

In many schools students are expected to be able to read simple material by the end of the second grade. One of the most important goals in teaching young students to read is making sure they are completely proficient with Sight Words.

Sight Words (sometimes called the Dolch Word List) are some of the most frequently used words in the English language. Even though they number only about 200, 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.

Our brand new Sight Words Wordsearch Puzzle Generator will create a new puzzle for you on demand.

Here's how it works: Simply click on one of the links below. On the next page you will see a puzzle generated using 10 or 20 random words from one of the standard Dolch lists. To get another puzzle variation, simply reload the page and a new puzzle will be created for you automatically.

There are two additional reasons why it is important to give Sight Words an extra priority. Firstly, phonetic analysis can't be applied to many of the Sight Words. Secondly, quite a few of the Sight Words cannot be taught through pictures (e.g. "if", "soon", "but", etc.).

Even though it may take a considerable effort for children to learn the entire Dolch Word List, it is well worth it. Having the ability to recognize these words can dramatically increase confidence and improve reading proficiency of the beginning reader.

Because complete fluency with Sight Words is the foundation of literacy, a variety of techniques are used to teach them to children. Repetition and practice are very important in making Sight Words recognition automatic. For example, there are numerous group activities that help in teaching Dolch Word List in elementary school setting. These activities are often supplemented by interactive games that involve flashcards and computer software.

Here at Quiz-Tree.com you will find exercises that can help your children master Dolch Word List and have some fun too. The exercises are simple and it takes just a few seconds to learn how to use them. When the exercise starts, the student will hear one of the Sight Words. The student's task is to assemble, by using the mouse, the word from the letters provided. After the student answers correctly, the game will move to the next word.

Clearly, exercises and games like the ones presented on this website can be most valuable when used as a part of a comprehensive reading education program that employs a variety of materials and activities.

Sometimes, teachers can fall into the trap of thinking that ESL or Special Education strategies are only necessary for those specific subgroups of our student population.

What school supplies do you ask your students (or, more accurately,their parents) to bring from home?  With today's budget crunches, many teachers are in need of more basic supplies than crayons, scissors, and glue sticks.  Sometimes they require paper towels, facial tissues, and all-purpose cleaning sprays just to make it through the school year.  What a sad state of affairs for our education system.
