What are sight words?

A sight word is a common word a child learns to recognise instantly โ€” on sight โ€” without sounding it out. Words like the, and, you, was, said appear so often that reading them automatically frees up a childโ€™s attention for understanding the story. The best-known lists are the Dolch words (pre-primer through third grade) and the Fry list; together they cover the words children meet most in early reading.

Which sight words should my child learn?

Follow your childโ€™s grade, but let their reading guide you. Kindergarten starts with the pre-primer and primer lists; first, second and third grade each add a new set; and by fourth grade children are mastering the Fry high-frequency words. Pick a grade above to get the full list plus five ways to practise.
