Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Trying to sound out sight words letter-by-letter instead of recognizing them as whole words — especially with irregular words like 'know', 'could', and 'once' where phonics rules don't apply.
• Confusing visually similar sight words such as 'were' vs 'where', 'then' vs 'than', or 'of' vs 'off', which changes the meaning of a sentence.
• Ignoring silent letters (the k in 'know', the l in 'walk' and 'could') and mispronouncing the word, which makes it harder to recognize the same word next time.
