Words you just know by sight
Sight words are the common words kids should read instantly, like the, said, was, of and could. First graders build on the kindergarten list and add dozens more, many of which don't follow the usual phonics rules. Knowing these words by heart frees up brainpower for sounding out new words and understanding the story. Most first graders learn around 100 to 150 high-frequency words by the end of the year. The click moment is when a child reads a whole page without stopping on any of the little words.
Sight words need lots of short practice, with some music and some reading. Here's our plan.
Play a sight word song and have kids spell the word out loud with the music. Then point to the word on the wall. Singing it, saying it and seeing it all at once helps kids remember it.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
Try it withI Song (Animated Music Video)SongsOpen it →Flip through a small stack of sight word cards for two minutes. Words a child reads fast go in the "know it" pile, slow ones go back in the practice stack. Kids love watching the "know it" pile grow.
Why it works: researchers who compared ten study methods found practice testing is one of the two that work best (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).
Try it withSight Word Flash CardsFlash CardsOpen it →After learning words on cards, kids find them in short reading passages. Seeing a word in a real sentence is what turns memorizing into reading.
Why it works: short practice spread over several days beats one long session, according to a large review of learning research (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Most first graders learn about 100 to 150 sight words by the end of the year, building on the kindergarten list.
They include common words like after, again, could, every, from, just, know, live, old, once, some, them, think and walk.
Practice a few words at a time with flash cards, songs and books. Have your child find the words in stories and write them in sentences.
They may need more short, repeated practice. Mix in some words they know with a few new ones, and connect the words to the sounds they hear.
