As you probably know, early learning success hinges on reading fluency and comprehension. When students stop and stumble over sight words, it's difficult for them to read through entire sentences and paragraphs to understand the sense of the passage. When students know how to spell these crucial words at an early age, they also have a head start on successful writing.
