Sight Words
Sight words are words that appear so frequently in children’s books that it is helpful for children to known them before the phonics rules have been taught. Some are considered irregular words that don’t follow phonics rules. Some are words used in giving directions. Others are position words, number words, and colors.

The following list is a compilation of the most common sight word lists, including the Dolch and Fry Lists. Each list uses a different way to group the words - some by grade level, others by sets of one hundred. Most of these are words that appear frequently in children’s literature and textbooks. Teach the easiest words first and then harder words as your child is ready.
