Why Learn High Frequency Words?
High frequency words (sight words) are words that students encounter
frequently in reading and writing. It is critical that readers and writers
develop automaticity (automatic recognition), a skill that leads to fluency.
"Students need to be able to read the first 300 Instant Words "instantly"
without a moment's hesitation, because these 300 words make up 65% of all
written material" (Frye). Comprehension begins to break down when students
are focused on trying to decode or sound out the words.
Some high frequency words do not follow regular phonetic rules. They do not
follow easy spelling patterns (example: cave, Dave, save, wave, gave, have) As
a result, these words are more difficult for students to master. Asking
children to "sound it out" is pointless and generally causes increased
frustration for most struggling readers. Beginning readers need to recognize
these words as "sight words". "In order for students to retain a difficult
word, they need many opportunities to experience and manipulate it
(Throop).
Much of our language has been adapted from other languages during its
development. One sixth of the words survived from old English and almost all
of those words are high frequency words.
A prime example of the importance of high frequency words in a piece of
text can be seen in counting the number of sight words appearing in a simple
version of The Three Bears. Another reality check is looking for high
frequency words in the story problems in your daily math lessons like Excel
Math.
Sight Words
This term refers to
a.) Nonphonetic words - those needing to be recognized by sight because
they can't be sounded out (e.g., was, through).
b.) Frequently occurring words - those needing to be recognized easily
because they occur so often.
c.) High-interest words - those recognized by sight because they have
special interest and/or emotional overtones for child (e.g., mom, dad,
love, birthday, Christmas, dinosaur, etc.)
