Based on our kindergarten and first grade reading curriculums, we created additional sight word worksheets. These worksheets focus on more than one word. In addition, we created worksheets that contain several of Dolch’s preprimer and primer sight words.
- Kindergarten Sight Word Worksheets
- Dolch Sight Word Worksheets
- First Grade Sight Word Worksheets
As noted above we indicated if the sight word was included on either Dolch or Fry’s sight word lists. Dolch categorized his words based on grades: pre-primer (PP), primer, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. Whereas, Fry categorized his words based on frequency, e.g. top 50 or top 100.
Sight words can be tricky for a child who is learning to read. These are words that are so common that children should learn to quickly recognize them by sight, rather than ‘sounding them out’. Some of these words cannot be “sounded out” using phonetic principles. Our worksheets assist a child in learning to quickly recognize these sight words.

These are –
- A sight word list is long, and therefore, memorizing these is an uphill task. It has been estimated that around 35 trials are required per word.
- Mentors who use sight word lists and focus less on phonics instruction make it challenging to inculcate a word-recognition knack that is needed throughout an individual’s lifespan.
