請問英文phonics中，什麼是sight words?

Whole word methods teach every word as a sight word, one word at a time, without teaching students the sounds in these words. This does not work. However, many of the newer phonics programs also use an alarming number of sight words. Of the 220 most commonly taught sight words (called dolch sight words), 150 are completely phonetic and can be easily learned by sound. The other 70 words conform to simple patterns of exceptions and can be taught phonetically. Sight words should not be taught at all in a pure phonics program that teaches by sound. They should merely be taught phonetically along with other words.

When memorizing words as a whole, the eye jumps all around the word. Too many words taught as wholes by sight encourages the development of dyslexia. Sounding every word out from left to right helps encourage proper left to right eye movement while reading. [1] Moreover, pictures and words are processed on different sides of the brain. Not only do sight words encourage incorrect eye movements, they also confuse the brain, which research has shown reads words sound by sound. For a further explanation of how sight words can encourage the development of dyslexia and an explanation of the nature of sound and how our brains learn to process the sounds in words, see my dyslexia page.

Here are some of these 150 phonetic "sight words:"
be, he, me, she, we
an, can, ran
got, hot, not
ate, make, take
