Once your child has learned all three sight words in the original batch, introduce three new sight words following the same procedure. When your child can randomly pick up a sight word flash card and read the word on it, he has committed that sight word to memory. Mix the cards up (or let him mix them) to keep the game interesting. When your child is familiar with the three sight words and can identify them when you rotate through the cards, test his memory by putting all three sight word flash cards face down in front of your child. Once your child has repeated the word on the first sight word flash card, move that card aside and repeat the process with the second and third sight words. Show your child each sight word flash card, read the word on the flash card and then ask him to point to the flash card and repeat the word. Showing your child a large group of unknown words can be overwhelming and beginning with a smaller group of sight words will help boost his confidence.

Children who are ready and able to learn what words look like and recall the word on sight are, generally speaking, able to do this for any word to which they are introduced. In my experience, once children are ready to learn sight words, there is no reason to distinguish between preschool sight words, kindergarten sight words, or first grade sight words, for example. The list of Dolch sight words includes a list of (pre-primer) preschool sight words and (primer) kindergarten sight words. 3rd Grade sight words: about, better, bring, carry, clean, cut, done, draw, drink, eight, fall, far, full, got, grow, hold, hot, hurt, if, keep, kind, laugh, light, long, much, myself, never, only, own, pick, seven, shall, show, six, small, start, ten, today, together, try, warmĪdditional thoughts about kindergarten sight words.2nd Grade sight words: always, around, because, been, before, best, both, buy, call, cold, does, don’t, fast, first, five, found, gave, goes, green, its, made, many, off, or, pull, read, right, sing, sit, sleep, tell, their, these, those, upon, us, use, very, wash, which, why, wish, work, would, write, your.1st Grade sight words: after, again, an, any, as, ask, by, could, every, fly, from, give, giving, had, has, her, him, his, how, just, know, let, live, may, of, old, once, open, over, put, round, some, stop, take, thank, them, then, think, walk, were, when.(Primer) Kindergarten sight words: all, am, are, at, ate, be, black, brown, but, came, did, do, eat, four, get, good, have, he, into, like, must, new, no, now, on, our, out, please, pretty, ran, ride, saw, say, she, so, soon, that, there, they, this, too, under, want, was, well, went, what, white, who, will, with, yes.(Pre-primer) Preschool sight words: a, and, away, big, blue, can, come, down, find, for, funny, go, help, here, I, in, is, it, jump, little, look, make, me, my, not, one, play, red, run, said, see, the, three, to, two, up, we, where, yellow, you.The Dolch sight word list is a list of 220 sight words for children ages preschool through third grade, plus a list of 95 nouns: Dolch sight words are on a specific list of sight words created in 1936 by Edward Dolch, who identified them as key “service” words that young children should be able to read quickly. These words are also words that are used very frequently in typical text for young readers, so knowing them on sight helps children read more smoothly and effortlessly. Sight words are just what the name suggests they are words that children commit to memory so that they can read them “on sight” and do not have to decode or sound them out.
