Answer to Question 1

The ability to remember and recognize a word as a whole unique unit (word) without having the ability to sound it out is a good definition.
Labels and nametags aid word recognition and rereadings of favorite books helps the skill develop, but some children bypass sight reading and first learn to read by analyzing sound units. Having been endowed with a good visual memory is a gift.
