These are words that appear most often inreading material written for children and adults.They make up from 50% to 70% of the words inmost reading material.To master a sight word, a student must recognizeand pronounce the word instantly (in one secondor less) every time he/she sees it.RTI in FUSDMarch 21, 2014Sight Recognition 37. A last resortContext is least useful when it is most needed:Overall, context enables the reader to predictaccurately one out of four words, but the contentwords that impart most of the meaning inpassages are predictable only 10% of the time.RTI in FUSDMarch 21, 2014Context 38.
