Although independent reading cannot substitute for teaching decoding, it improves reading comprehension and the habit of reading. Independent reading is children's reading of text â such as books, magazines, and newspapers â on their own, with minimal to no assistance from adults. It can consist of reading done in or out of school, including purely voluntary reading for enjoyment or assigned reading for homework.
Sight words build speed and fluency when reading. Accuracy, speed, and fluency in reading increase reading comprehension.

The sight words are both common, frequently used words and foundational words that a child can use to build a vocabulary. Combining sight words with phonics instruction increases a childâs speed and fluency in reading.
