20 sight words for kindergarten

FREE Printable List of Kindergarten Sight Words & How to Teach Them

If you’ve got a child in kindergarten, you’ll want to get familiar with kindergarten sight words and learn how to teach your child to read & learn sight words.

As a child play therapist and teacher, I understand how important it is to understand what sight words are, as well as understanding which activities, games, and apps are best to use to teach them.

This post has been updated to include more Kindergarten Sight Word Resources for parents and teachers (like this Kindergarten Sight Word Bundle Packet).

Sight words are words that kindergarteners will see the most. Sight words are a commonly used term that usually refers to a set of words that reappears on almost any page of text.

Kindergarten Sight Words and How to Teach Them

These high-frequency words are seen often. In fact, between 50-75% of your child’s text will include sight words from pre-primer & primer Dolch word lists.

What are sight words?

To become a great reader, children must master their sight words. It is essential to learn their sight words and to continue to practice them. Once your child has mastered them, it is time to move onto the next list.

Kindergarten sight word list

When your child is looking at these words on a daily basis, they will learn them quickly. Repetition is the key to fluency (reading smoothly, without a lot of pauses), so practicing these words over and over will help to achieve that goal. Here is a FREE printable list of Kindergarten Sight Words (click here, and I will send you the list)

You are welcome to download this free printable sight word list to help your child prepare for kindergarten.

Or if you really want the complete package, get this Kindergarten Sight Word Bundle Packet. As a child play therapist, I put this packet together so you can help your child learn sight words. You can print it over and over again to help your child learn his or her sight words.

How many sight words are there?

There are 52 sight words that are typically taught in kindergarten.

The Kindergarten Sight Words are:

all, am, are, at, ate, be, black, brown, but, came, did, do, eat, four, get, good, have, he, into, like, must, new, no, now, on, our, out, please, pretty, ran, ride, saw, say, she, so, soon, that, there, they, this, too, under, want, was, well, went, what, white, who, will, with, yes.

These are the 52 most commonly seen words in kindergarten level books. When a child is able to master those words, it not only makes it easier for them to read the words, it also improves their fluency or how quickly and smoothly they can read a passage.

How to Teach Kindergarten Sight Words

To begin, simply introduce your child to the list (show your child, hang it up, read them).

Read all of the words to your child (every day) and explain that he will be learning a new word every day (or every other day). Be excited about it.

On day one, see if your child knows any of the words. If they do, put a sticker, a checkmark, or a smiley face to the left of the word (there is space for that). If not, that’s OK! He will.

Every single day, go over the new word, as well as the OLD words that they know. I start by going over the old words with the sticker and then picking a new word. I say it, spell it, say it again, and ask my child to repeat it.

During the day, we will talk about that word and go back to the wall where it is hanging to look at it. I do this at least three times. I keep my chart in the pantry, so anytime our kids eat a snack or want to grab something, they see the words.

Continue to add a sticker, checkmark, or a smiley face to their new words, until the whole list has been completed. From then on, you can just review them every day or every few days.

As the days go on, find these words in other areas (words in books, service words on signs, flash cards before bed…)

SIGHT WORDS TO TRACE

Tracing kindergarten sight words gives children a chance to engage with the words in a new and different way. By combining multiple learning styles in one lesson, kids are more likely to learn and recall their sight words. Here are a couple of methods for creating kindergarten sight words to trace.

Rainbow Writing: At the beginning of the school year, have students trace the sight words in three different colors. This repetition helps them develop motor memory while also solidifying the spelling of the word. As the school year progresses, have students write the words independently in three colors. They can overlap the colors or write them three separate times.
Dry Erase Words: Kids love writing with different writing tools, so dry erase markers always make things more fun!
– Print out the kindergarten sight words you’d like students to practice on a sheet of heavy cardstock.
– Slip the cardstock into a transparent page protector and clip it to a clipboard.
– Then, with a dry erase marker, students can trace the sight words on the page protector.
If they make a mistake, it can be erased with a tissue or an old sock!

SIGHT WORDS TO PRINT

Technology has made even the youngest students digitally savvy. If you have access to a computer or tablet and a printer, have your students type their kindergarten sight words and print them out.

Kids love working in word processing programs and learning how to type. They can print the words in different colors, fonts, and sizes. Use the sight words they printed to decorate the room or as part of their reading folder.

If you minimize the page size, you could even use their printed words as Kindergarten sight word flashcards!

SIGHT WORDS IN SENTENCES

Learning sight words are important, but kids need to learn how to identify those words in sentences.

For early readers, being able to pick out kindergarten sight words in sentences means they have a complete understanding of the word.

Not only can they trace and write the word, but they can pick it out amidst other words. This is an important skill as they continue to develop their reading abilities.

How do you find them?

One way to help kids identify their sight words in sentences is to play a modified version of I Spy. Instead of looking for objects, they are tasked with finding sight words. Give them a highlighter or highlighter tape to cover the word once they have found it.

Since kindergarteners have a limited reading vocabulary, make the sentences as uncomplicated as possible. Even three-word sentences allow students to practice finding and identifying sight words. If you want to make it more challenging, add a couple of sight words in each sentence!

KINDERGARTEN SIGHT WORDS WITH PICTURES

Kindergarten sight words are basic words that are seen the most frequently in grade-level books. Many of the words are hard to illustrate because of their simplicity. One way to create flashcards of kindergarten sight words with pictures is to have students decorate them or create an illustration that helps them remember the word.

For example, they may draw someone crawling under a table, or they might draw a picture of a toy that has fallen under a bed to illustrate the word “UNDER.”

Whatever image helps them remember the word is fine to use. The goal is to help them learn the words so there is no right or wrong.

KINDERGARTEN SIGHT WORD FLASHCARDS

Kindergarten sight word flashcards are especially helpful for quick practice. They can be useful for reviewing words at home or on the go.

Some people even uploaded them as virtual flashcards to a tablet or smartphone to be practiced while in the car, visiting relatives, or on vacation.

It doesn’t matter if you print them out to review alone, study them from a device, or turn them into a game; sight word flashcards are a great way to reinforce kindergarten vocabulary.

When using Kindergarten Sight Word Flashcards, start with three sight words. When your child knows these three words, add one additional word at a time to the existing words the child already knows.

If you add more, your child will likely become frustrated – and we want this to be fun! Continue adding one word at a time until your child can recognize all Kindergarten sight words.

Sight Word Games and Sight Word Apps

Learning is always more effective when it’s turned into a game! Here are some of our favorite sight word games and apps.

Sight Word Games

Go on a Word Hunt: Look for sight words in your Kindergartener’s favorite book! Count how many you can find. You could also print out a list of kindergarten sight words and put a checkmark next to each one you find.
Sight Word Hopscotch: Draw a hopscotch board on the sidewalk with chalk and write different sight words in each square. As your child hops from square to square, have him call out the sight word he’s jumping to.
Sight Word Water Balloon Smash: Fill water balloons and write sight words on each balloon in a permanent marker. On the sidewalk, write the sight words in chalk. Have your child choose a balloon, match it to the word on the sidewalk, and smash it on the chalked word. Not only is it a lot of fun, but it’s also a great way to stay cool.
There are more Games in this Kindergarten Sight Word Bundle Packet, like these puzzles, etc.

Dear parents!

On the eve of the beginning of the new school year, I would like to remind you of a very important thing - the safety of children on the roads. Opening the boundless world of knowledge to the child, accompanying him to school, we want to be sure that this road will be comfortable and safe for him. And here a lot will depend on each of us!

By personally scrupulously following the Rules of the Road, you show your child a very important example for his future. Before going to school, it would be very useful to remind children about the rules of law-abiding behavior on the carriageway, at a pedestrian crossing, in the passenger compartment of a bus. In the transport environment, they must be extremely attentive and careful. To make these skills a rule for every student without exception, repeat them more often before leaving the house.

In addition, do not forget that each of you, approaching an educational organization, must slow down, and at a pedestrian crossing, be sure to let small pedestrians pass.

When placing a child in the car, develop the habit - immediately place a small passenger in a special child seat, fasten him with seat belts. Make sure that your child's clothing or accessories have reflective elements attached. This will greatly help to protect it on the roads at night.

It seems, at first glance, simple and uncomplicated rules, but they are largely able to secure the little man dearest to every father and mother.

Your caring about road safety is the best guarantee of the well-being and safety of your children! Remember that only a student who knows and observes the basics of transport culture is able to make the right decision in any emergency, thereby ensuring his safety, saving life and health.

Performance "Correct Rules" by the Scarlet Flower Puppet Theater

10/10/2022 In our kindergarten, children live a busy life, and the arrival of theater groups is a good tradition in our preschool institution. Today, the "Scarlet Flower" puppet theater presented the children with the performance "Correct Rules" - a performance according to the rules of the road. In a playful way, theater artists, together with the children, went on an exciting journey, where the children learned about various types of transport moving along the streets and roads; met with a traffic light and repeated its signals, got acquainted with new road signs, remembered the types of pedestrian crossings and consolidated knowledge of how to cross the roadway in their absence. Happy smiles, burning eyes and joyful faces of our kids during the performance testify how much children love puppet theater. Impressions from a bright, colorful performance will remain in the memory of children for a long time.

Golden Autumn Entertainment

03.10.2022 Autumn! Amazing word! From him breathes gentle sadness, sadness. This is the most beautiful time of the year. We love autumn for the generosity of fields and gardens, for clear days, washed with the key coolness of an azure blue sky; for the beauty of forests painted in gold and crimson. And what do children usually expect in kindergarten? Of course, entertainment! Traditionally, in our preschool educational institution there were entertainments for children dedicated to the "Golden Autumn". Preparations for the event began long before it began. Children with teachers learned poems, dances, and with the music director - songs about autumn. It is slushy and cold outside, but in our kindergarten there was a warm, friendly atmosphere.

Meeting-concert "We are together"

On September 30, 2022, all of Russia took to the central squares of cities today to join the most important historical events. Meeting-concert "We are together" on the occasion of the signing of agreements on the entry of new territories into the Russian Federation. The event was held at Gorodishche at the same time as the solemn ceremony of signing documents by the President of Russia in Moscow. Despite the rainy weather, many caring people, including our employees, took part in it. About the courage of the inhabitants of the Luhansk and Donetsk Republics, as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, who, in spite of everything, came to the referendum, said the head of the city, Yevgenia Uvarkina. Then there was a broadcast of the speech of Russian President Vladimir Putin at the ceremony of accepting new territories into the country. The rally participants actively expressed their support to the residents of the liberated territories.
