First words, big smiles
Sight words are the little words that show up everywhere in books, like I, a, the, is, can, look. In preschool, the goal is not a long list. It is a handful of words kids start to recognize in a flash, mostly through songs, games and favorite books. Preschoolers notice that the same words repeat on every page, and they feel so proud when they spot "the" on a cereal box. Early sight word fun goes hand in hand with learning letters and sounds, and it gives kids a happy head start for kindergarten reading.
Preschoolers learn through music, movement and play. These moves keep sight words light and joyful.
Play a sight word song and have kids clap or jump on each letter as it is spelled. Start with one word, like I, and sing it all week. Music helps little ones remember words long before they can sound them out.
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 →After watching a sight word video for "look", read a picture book and have kids shout "Look!" every time they see the word. Pointing to it on the page connects the song to real reading.
Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).
Try it withLook Song (Animated Music Video)VideosOpen it →Choose one new word each week and keep singing the old ones too. By spring, preschoolers have a small collection they know by heart. Slow and steady is perfect at this age.
Why it works: the brain holds on to what it meets again and again over time; spaced practice was rated among the very best methods (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

A few is great, as long as it stays playful. Most preschool focus is on letters, sounds and a love of books, with sight words introduced through songs and games.
Start with very common, short words like I, a, the, is, can and see. These show up in almost every early book.
There is no set number. Recognizing a handful of words by the end of preschool is a wonderful start, and many kids learn more in kindergarten.
Sing sight word songs, point to words while you read together, and play quick games like hiding word cards around the house.
