First Graders have a wide range of skills. In my class, sight words for 1st are adjusted to best meet the needs of the group. It will be a mix of words from our reading series, Dolch words, and other words frequently found in texts.
Most weeks, we will have 4 or 5 target sight words.
A sight word is a word that can be recognized "on sight" without using decoding skills.
Please, please, please keep up with them weekly. It is easy to fall behind and tough to catch up!
For now, read through the K list and target any you don't know.
Please contact me for our current first grade list.
These words are from previous years. There will be some changes for 2025 -2026, but "good words to know." For 1st grade, we combine sight words from our current reading series along with some high frequency words to improve reading fluency.
