Sight words are so important in English. They give students some of the most common words and enable them to start to communicate. Many sight words are also high frequency / common words and although they do not follow, at least always follow, phonics or other English spelling rules they are still very important to learn. Especially during the formative years of English instruction.
The irony is that as education moves away from the repeat after me, rote learning style of teaching languages it still has a place in certain aspects of English . One of those aspects is Sight words.

The majority of these do not have phonetic rules to refer to and have to be committed to memory by students. These Sight word spelling worksheets will help achieve this.
