Sunnyside Elementary First Grade Team Sight Word List
There are several different lists of sight words out there. The Sunnyside First Grade Team has identified this list of sight words because it correlates with the F&P Leveled book system we use. We will be using this list as the official words that a first grader should know. We will use this list as our common assessment when monitoring progress and reflecting on interventions as a team. We will use this list to assess, group and plan intervention as a team in order to homogeneously group and share our kids in order to provide intervention and acceleration during our acceleration time.
