Welcome! Below you will find a list of the 122 CCC sight words your child will be expected to recognize by the end of first grade (with review words from kindergarten as well). You can use this list to help your child practice at home. We do not expect first graders to spell every word correctly, but you can still use this list as a way to help improve their spelling, as many are words they will write frequently.

The reason these are called “sight words” or “high frequency words” is because they are words that we frequently come across as readers and at times they do not follow spelling patterns, so therefore cannot be sounded out. When your child comes across one of these words when reading, try to point it out and remind them that it may not be able to be sounded out. As students start to recognize these words, their reading fluency and accuracy increase.

These words will help your child progress as a reader. The sight words can be found in both list and flashcard format if you are interested in printing at home for practice. Print two sets of the flashcards and play a family game of memory!

We will then move into teaching common phonics spelling patterns to help students continue to grow in their reading and writing.

The students will be exposed to these phonics spelling patterns in whole group and small group lessons throughout the year. Every student will not master all of the spelling patterns, but we will work with them to practice and help improve their writing.
