Description
By first grade, the words that trip a reader up are no longer the tiny ones like the and and. They are words such as could, know and once, which break the phonics rules a child has just learned. This First Grade Sight Words Book takes six of those words from the Dolch first grade list — over, could, know, once, think and were — and gives each one its own card to read, trace and write. A silent k, an ou that says a short oo, a once that starts with a /w/ sound: none of them can be sounded out, so they have to be known on sight.
This first grade dolch words worksheet works in the same three steps on every card. Your child reads the word printed at the top, traces over the dotted letters on the first line, then writes the whole word on the empty line below it. Say each word out loud every time it comes up, because sight words are stored by sound and shape together. The writing lines are sized for first grade handwriting, so there is room to form every letter neatly. The answer key on page two shows all six words written out.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 6 read-trace-write sight word cards
- Dolch first grade words: over, could, know, once, think, were
Three things make this First Grade Sight Words Book more useful than a plain spelling list. First, reading the word before tracing it means your child meets it as a whole word, not as a string of letters to copy. Second, tracing builds the hand memory that helps the word come out correctly the next time it is written. Third, the empty line at the bottom asks your child to write the word again without the dotted guide, which is the first step toward writing it from memory.
Keep the six words in front of your child for the rest of the week. Write them on index cards and play a quick game of memory or go fish. Read a favorite picture book together and ask your child to spot could or were on each page. Take turns making up a silly sentence that uses two of the words at once, such as I think it could fly over the house. A few minutes of play each day turns these tricky words into words your child reads without stopping.
