The earlyReading Spanish -- Sight Words subtest assesses a student's ability to recognize up to 150 of the most high-frequency Spanish words. The earlyReading Spanish -- Sight Words subtest is distinct from the earlyReading Spanish -- Decodable Words subtest because many high-frequency words are not decodable, and students must recognize them with automaticity rather than by using decoding strategies. earlyReading Spanish -- Sight Words is part of the Composite in the spring of kindergarten and in the fall, winter, and spring of grade 1; it can also be used for progress monitoring.
