Sight words?

Hi, I'm not understand because to childrean teach some sight words before that they learn grammar; for example the word "she" a child can read it but don't understand it if don't know the grammar.

Sight words are generally taught to children who are fluent in the language they are learning to read. It is always easier for a native speaker to learn to read his/her own language than it is for a non-native speaker to read the language. Because the children know the vocabulary, they understand the context better than non-native speakers.

  • It is a very interesting thing, really.
  • I'll give you an interesting example: People who are learning/acquiring English as a second language struggle with the pronunciation or "ed" at the end of regular verbs for past tense and past participle forms.

Hi Englishmaven, what do you mean with:
EnglishmavenThat is because they see the word "talk," and they understand it
maybe a child that see a sight word don't use phonic to read the sight word, just he see the sight word don't as written word but as printed image (as he seen all another word before he have taught phonics). Is it correct that said?

Hi Englishmaven, a child that can't read a whole word, he uses analytical phonics. Is it right?
