Sight words are developed
A.by seeing them on sight.
B.by teachers from text books.
C.by using words in meaningful contexts✓ Correct
D.by knowing meanings of difficult words.
Explanation
Sight words are words that learners recognise instantly without having to decode them. They develop through repeated exposure in meaningful contexts where learners encounter the words frequently in reading, writing, and speaking activities. Simply seeing words (option 1) or knowing difficult meanings (option 4) does not build sight word recognition. Teacher-driven textbook approach (option 2) is too narrow. Meaningful context use builds automatic recognition.
