About the Sight Word Worksheets

These sight word worksheets teach 222 high-frequency words one at a time, in a fixed order, at three levels: 102 kindergarten words, 72 first grade words and 48 second grade words. Together they teach every word on the Dolch list of 220. Every word has two pages, and the words come in sets of six. Each set ends with Roll and Read, a one-page game for one die and some crayons that mixes the set's six words. A set is one 13-page PDF, so a week of sight word work is one print job.

In the packs, every set also ends with review sheets that mix its six words: Which Sentence?, Read and Fill In and Map the Word, and in kindergarten Build a Sentence (cut out the words and glue them in order). Map the Word treats the set's words as heart words: the child taps each sound, writes its letters in sound boxes and colors the heart over the part that has to be learned by heart, such as the ai in said. The answer keys are at the back of each pack.

Kindergarten. On the Read It page the child reads five short sentences that use the new word, then colors a star for each read-through. On the Write It page the child colors the word, traces it, writes it, finds it among look-alike words and finishes a sentence with it. Each page uses only words from earlier pages, the new word, and short words a child can sound out, such as cat, mud and hid. Where a sentence needs a word the child cannot read yet, a picture stands in for it, so the child reads real sentences from the first day, with two words.

First grade. The first grade pages come after the kindergarten words and have no pictures in the sentences. On the Read It page the child reads a short story, circles the new word each time it appears, counts it and answers two questions in writing. On the Use It page the child writes the word, circles the word that fits in three sentences, puts a mixed-up sentence in order and writes a sentence of their own. The pack has an answer key for every page.

Second grade. The second grade pages use the same two sheets with longer stories. Their 48 words are the last of the Dolch list (laugh, together, never, myself) and two more that schools teach by heart at this age, people and friend.

The first sets of each level (66 words in all) are free to print here. Every page is black and white line art, so a class set costs nothing extra to copy and the pictures can be colored in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which sight words are included?
222 common high-frequency words from the Dolch and Fry lists. The kindergarten level has 102, starting with I, can, a, see, the and like. The first grade level has 72 more, starting with an, ask, old, after, again and just, and includes the color words and the Dolch second grade list. The second grade level has the last 48: the Dolch third grade list, the few earlier words the first two levels skip, and people and friend. The three levels together cover all 220 Dolch words. The full list, set by set, is on this page.
Do the worksheets teach heart words?
Yes, in the packs. Every set ends with a Map the Word sheet for its six words: the child taps one dot for each sound, writes the letters for each sound in a box, and colors a heart over the part of the word that does not follow the rules taught so far, such as the ai in said or the oe in does. That part is learned by heart; the rest of the word is sounded out.
What order should I teach them in?
In the order of the sets, kindergarten first. Each page is written with only the words that came before it, so a child who has done sets 1 to 3 can read every sentence in set 4. Skipping ahead means meeting words that have not been taught.
What grade are these for?
The kindergarten level is for kindergarten and the start of 1st grade: it suits a child who knows letter sounds and is starting to read. The first grade level is for a child who can read those words: it has short stories, questions to answer in writing and sentences to write. The second grade level follows it with longer stories and the last words of the Dolch list.
Why are there pictures inside the kindergarten sentences?
A picture stands in for a word the child cannot read yet, so the early pages can still be real sentences. Pictures of an action, such as hop or kick, have the word in small print underneath for the adult. As more words are taught, the pictures move to the end of the row and the sentences are all print. The first grade pages are all print.
Do they print in black and white?
Yes. Every worksheet is black and white line art.
How is this different from the sight word flashcards?
The sight word flashcards page has the full Dolch and Fry lists as flashcards and one-page word lists, and a generator for your own cards. These worksheets teach the words in sentences, one new word per page, with writing practice.
