Sight Word Vocabulary

Worksheets Kindergarten Vocabulary Sight words. Free sight words worksheets for preschool and kindergarten. These worksheets help kids learn to recognize common words or 'sight words'. These are words that are so common that children should learn to quickly recognize them by sight, rather than 'sounding them out'. Sight Words: Flashcards: Direct Instruction (Ruwe, McLaughlin, Derby, & Johnson, 2011).The tutor prepares a deck of 10 flashcards with sight words. Prior to the session, the tutor sets a session criterion for mastery: e.g., the student will name all sight words in the deck correctly 3 times in a row.

Sight words are common words that are found in everyday print; they make up over 50% of all written material. There are many sight word lists circulating today. The most prominent lists were published separately by two PhD’s, Dolch and Fry.

Dolch’s sight word list contains 220 service words. He categorized these words into the following five groups: pre-primer, primer, first, second and third. Dolch intentionally excluded nouns from this list.

Fry created a list containing the most common words in English. The first 100 words make up over 50% of all written material. His list contains 1,000 words, the table above includes the first 225.

Sight Word List

The table below contains both Dolch and Fry’s sight word lists. This information was provided above in separate PDF files.

Sight Word List

Another option is to contact your school to obtain a sight word list. If they do not have one readily available, consider using the lists below to assist your child in obtaining a sight word vocabulary.

Kindergarten Sight Words
Our kindergarten curriculum identified 25 sight words that a child should automatically recognize by the end of kindergarten. They also provided additional words for a child who mastered the first list of sight words.
First Grade Sight Words
By the end of first grade, a child should automatically recognize and correctly spell sight words.
2nd Grade Sight Words
Sight words are no longer in vogue; the terminology changes from sight words to wall words. These words are typically displayed on a wall, students should spell these words correctly.

Fry created a list containing the most common words in English. The first 100 words make up over 50% of all written material. His list contains 1,000 words, the table above includes the first 225.
