Sight words can be tricky

Being good at reading is trickier than knowing how to sound out the letters in words. Many words in the English language (over 50%!) can’t be sounded out phonetically (decoded).

Words that can’t be spelled or read using the letter-sound correspondence taught to students in phonics programs are often dubbed sight words or high-frequency words.
