and strategy.
Designed by a Speech Pathologist.
First Sight Words outlines a developmental sequence; the first 100 words to be instructed within the first year of reading instruction, the second 100 within second year of reading instruction and the third 100 words within the third year.
The ordering of the sequence is based upon frequency of occurrence and also word complexity.
Methods to instruct each sight word are outlined.
Flash cards and assessment sheets are also included.

FIRST SIGHT WORDS - Frequency, complexity and strategy.
What are sight words?
”Sight words” are a special category of words that students are instructed to recognise automatically (i.e. without picture cues or sounding-out.) The instant recognition is important due to the frequency at which sight words occur.
“Over half of every newspaper article, textbook, children’s story and novel is comprised of just 300 words” (Fry, 2000:4).
Whataretheoriginsofthesightwordlists?
In 1948 Dolch developed the theory that children who memorise (or recognise) a key group of core words learn to read more easily and with improved comprehension. As an extension of this research, in the 1990’s Fry compiled a list of 1000 commonly used words and arranged the words according to their frequency of occurrence. Fry’s (1999) extensive research uncovered that:
• The first 25 words on his list word list make up approximately a third of all published works.
• The first 100 words on his list word list comprise approximately a half of all published works.
• The first 300 words on his list word list make approximately 65% of all published works.
Beginner readers and the sight words.
It is well established in the literature that students require simultaneous instruction of phonics and sight words. Both sets of skills have been shown to assist beginning readers. A complication with sight word instruction is that a proportion of the sight words do not follow regular phonic rules. Another compli-cation is that those words that do conform to phonic principles demand phonic knowledge that the beginning reader may not have yet acquired.
This resource First Sight Words continues the work of Dolch and Fry by considering:
1. Complexityofthewords
2. Methods to instruct each sight word.
Beginning readers require the presentation of more simplistic high frequency words before the presen-tation of more complex and irregular high frequency words. While the sight words are still presented in Fry’s groupings (i.e. the first 25, followed by words 26-100 and finally words 101 to 300), it is within these groupings that the order has been updated to consider word complexity. This order presents words ranging from the regular (and easiest to master) to less regular (and more difficult to master). For the beginning reader this will facilitate greater success and reduced frustration.

Flash Cards
Forwords1-200,eachofthesewordsarerepresentedonaflashcardwith: • Order of presentation (eg: Present this word as Card Number 1). This does not represent the
frequency ranking of a word within the 300 most commonly appearing words but rather the PLD recommended order of instruction. Please refer to the table at the bottom of page 3.
• The learning target which includes a guide for when words should be learned. For example: - Target 1a: Words 1 - 25 to be learned within the first year of literacy instruction. - Target 1b: Words 26 - 100 to be learned within the first year of literacy instruction. - Target 2: Words 101 - 200 to be learned within the second year of literacy instruction. - Target 3: Words 201 - 300 to be learned within the third year of literacy instruction.
• An explicit teaching strategy (or strategies) on the bottom left hand corner.
Outlineofstrategies:
Strategy 1: Sound-Out the WordWhen the high frequency sight word is regular, it is recommended that students are initially instructed to ‘sound-out’ (or decode) the word. After repeated practice, students will no longer rely on ‘strategy 1’ as the sight words will be recognised automatically by sight.
Strategy 2: Sound-Out and ThinkThis is a two-stage strategy. First the ‘sounding out’ strategy is applied and it produces a non-word; but when the beginning reader stops for a moment to think about the sounds that were produced they are often able to arrive at the associated “real” word. For example: • Was: It then needs to be explained to the student that when sounded ‘wahss’ is produced,
but when the word is read (and spoken) it is verbalised as ‘woz’. Over time students will not require the adult’s explanation. (For example: Child: “W-ah-ss. Oh I know! That is that tricky word woz”). With a little more exposure and rehearsal students will not require ‘strategy 2’ and will instantly read the word as “woz”.
Strategy 3: Phonics Learning RequiredPhonic knowledge assists the mastery of a significant proportion of the list words. The difficulty for beginning readers is that their knowledge of how alphabetic symbols are combined to represent sounds contained within words (i.e. phonics) is extremely limited. • The alternating black and grey colour coding of the sight words assists the beginning read-
er by highlighting the sound and phonic structure in the sight words. • However, when students would benefit from the explanation of a particular phonic
concept, this is indicated by the phonic symbol being highlighted within the book icon in the left hand corner of the flash card. For example: ‘ea’ representing an “eeee” sound greatly assists a beginning reader decode the word ‘each’.
• Where possible, it is recommended that ‘strategy 3 sight words’ are linked with class-based phonic spelling lists.
Strategy 4: Look and LearnIf a sounding out strategy will not assist, a visual strategy is required. The icon of an eye, prompts the application of this ‘learn the word by how it looks’ strategy. • While repeated visual exposure may assist word recognition (reading), the appli-
cation of an acronym will likely fast track the ability to spell the word. (For example: you – your own unicorn; said – silly ants in dustbins; because – big elephants can always understand small elephants.)

To Establish Home Programs or Programs For Individual Students
The reproducable flash cards can also be copied onto coloured paper, then be laminat-ed, hole punched and attached to metal rings. By copying each page onto a different coloured paper sheet, this will also highlight the steps a beginning reader/speller is taking.
The cards contained within this resource can be used for:
• Whole class explicit instruction
• The creation of classroom displays
