Sight Words by Grade (printable list)
The Dolch sight word lists for kindergarten through 3rd grade.
</> Embed this tool on your siteSight words are the high-frequency words a child should recognize instantly, without sounding them out, because they turn up on nearly every page. The Dolch lists, grouped by grade, are the classic set used in most classrooms: 180 words across kindergarten through 3rd grade, 41 to 52 per grade. Every one a child reads without stopping to decode is attention left over for the sentence. Pick a grade to see the list, then print it for flashcards, a word wall, or five to ten words a day.
