High frequency words and sight words are the same thing.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
High frequency words and sight words are not the same thing. High frequency words refer to words that appear frequently in texts, regardless of their level of difficulty. These words are important for developing reading fluency. On the other hand, sight words are specific words that are taught to children to recognize instantly, without needing to decode them. These words are often taught because they do not follow regular phonetic patterns and cannot be easily sounded out. Therefore, while high frequency words may include sight words, they are not synonymous.Rate this question:
