These are words that are so common that children should learn to quickly recognize them by sight, rather than ‘sounding them out’. Sight words can be tricky for a child who is learning to read. Whereas, Fry categorized his words based on frequency, e.g.
Dolch categorized his words based on grades: pre-primer (PP), primer, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. In addition, we created worksheets that contain several of Dolch’s preprimer and primer sight words.Īs noted above we indicated if the sight word was included on either Dolch or Fry’s sight word lists. These worksheets focus on more than one word.
Based on our kindergarten and first grade reading curriculums, we created additional sight word worksheets.
