Phonics自然拼读适合有一定英语听力基础，sight words认得大部分的孩子来学习。毕竟，Phonics自然拼读的拼读规则还真是不少，而且时不时有例外规则，因此，对于英语听力基础，尤其许多sight words都不认识的孩子来说，学起来有点枯燥，容易让孩子失去学英语的兴趣。
Sight Words，顾名思义，就是一入视觉就立即反应的词汇，中文叫做高频词。最被广泛认可的英语高频词，叫做 Dolch Sight Words，分5级共220个词。按英美国家的说法，这220个词就占据了所有阅读词汇总数的50%以上！有了这些词，阅读的文章中，你就有50%的单词都认识，再通过学习Phonics（自然拼读法），配合适当难度等级的书进行阅读练习，就会极大地提高阅读速度以及阅读流利性，进而会有助于内容的理解。这就是英美等国家儿童阅读能力培养的基本方法。
