How many sight words are typically expected to be learned in 1-2nd grade?

100-200
200-300
300-500
500-700

The correct answer is: 300-500

In 1st and 2nd grade, students are generally expected to learn around 300 to 500 sight words. These words are high-frequency words that young readers encounter frequently in their reading materials, and knowing them by sight helps improve reading fluency and comprehension. The focus on sight words during these early grades is fundamental as it allows children to recognize common words quickly without needing to sound them out, thus paving the way for more highly skilled reading as they progress. Learning these words enables students to engage with texts more easily, enhancing their overall literacy skills. The range given in the question accurately reflects educational standards and research surrounding early literacy development, specifically the importance of building a strong foundation in reading.
