First Grade Sight Words
As your child continues on the road to independent reading, mastery of
sight words is critical. Sight words are high-frequency words that
students cannot read using phonics. You will find first grade sight
words that we will cover this year below. Practicing these sight words
with your child is excellent reading practice and will help build reading
fluency. 
