What are sight words?
Sight words are the small, very common words — like the, said, was and you — that children should recognize instantly instead of sounding out. Many don't follow regular phonics rules, so repeated practice is the fastest way to learn them.
The Dolch lists
Edward Dolch's lists of 220 service words are still the most widely used sight word lists in US classrooms. They are grouped by level: pre-primer (40 words), primer (52), first grade (41), second grade (46) and third grade (41). Each level is split into sets of 10 here, so you can work through one set a week.
A weekly routine
- Monday: trace and write the new words.
- Tuesday: write each word three times.
- Wednesday: unscramble.
- Thursday: missing letters.
- Friday: word search, then read the words aloud.
