 * **What are sight and decodable words?**
 * Sight words are words that cannot be "sounded out" and need to be recognized automatically. Decodable words are the words were letter and sound identification need to be mastered in able to read unfamiliar words.
 * **Why do we access it?**
 * We access it to help students that may need help becoming a more fluent reader. Also, it will help the students develop speed and accuracy in there reading and movement towards reading more difficult stories.
 * **Ways to help a child in recognizing sight words and develop decodable words. These different ways can be used by a teacher or parent.**
 * Write the words in large print on a note card or piece of strong paper.
 * Label the items in your house or school so the child gets used to seeing these words
 * Make a "Wonderful Word Box" so that the children can put words they find into this jar and at random times discuss the words that the students have found.
