When to Introduce Sight Words:
The ideal age to introduce sight words is between 3 to 4 years, before children start school. At this stage, they begin recognizing familiar words and sounds, which helps develop strong phonics and reading skills. Each child learns at their own pace, so it’s important to make learning fun through songs, games, and storytelling. Encouraging children to read picture books and engage with sight word activities builds confidence and interest in reading. Introducing sight words early helps children improve memory, reading fluency, and overall literacy, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
