There are many differing views of the best method for teaching sight words to children.
Millions of children can't figure out the words on the pages of their books
because they don't know the speech sounds of the alphabet. This is called
alphabetic code. These children feel great sadness and shame. They struggle
to not give up as they come to realize their future depends on their ability to
read. Reading walls seem to be towering over them and, sadly, they can't
climb over them without key reading skills.
