Kindergarten Sight Words
Sight words are words that appear frequently in the books that children read. Learning them helps
children become readers. Your child should be able to read these words by the end of kindergarten.
At home, use flash cards or play the memory game to help your child learn them. Directions on how to
play the memory game are on my website.
This is the order in which I will usually teach them. The children learn a new word each week. Color
words are practiced the first 2 weeks, but reviewed year round.
