What are Kindergarten sight words?

Sight words (also called high-frequency or β€œDolch” words) are the words that appear most often in children’s books β€” words like a, and, away, big, blue, can. Because they show up on nearly every page, teaching children to read them instantly, without sounding them out, is one of the fastest ways to build reading fluency. Our free kindergarten sight words list gives you the complete set, and the flash cards, tracing sheets, bingo and sentence worksheets give you five different ways to practise them.

How to teach sight words at home

Keep sessions short and playful. Introduce five to ten words at a time, review them daily with the flash cards, and celebrate quick wins. Trace-and-write practice builds spelling and handwriting alongside reading, while sight-word bingo makes review feel like a game. Once your child recognises a word instantly, move it to the β€œknown” pile and add a new one.

Keep reading beyond the worksheet

The best sight-word practice is real reading. The free Pagine library has 20,000+ books you can read online β€” picture books and easy readers full of exactly these high-frequency words. Track every book your child finishes in the free Pagine app, where kids earn streaks and badges for reading.
