Why First Grade Sight Words Matter

First grade readers start tackling real chapter books, and that requires instant recognition of dozens more connector and function words — "because", "could", "about" — that carry the structure of every sentence. A child who has to sound out these words one letter at a time loses the thread of the story; a child who knows them by sight reads with comprehension and confidence.
