For the remainder of the school year we will focus on spelling patterns to help students continue to grow in both their reading and writing. After we have finished introducing the sight words for the year, continue to review the above sight words at home. We will start the school year with reviewing the first 5 phonics lists focusing on short vowel sounds. Throughout the year we will take the occasional break and have fun seasonal word lists. We will then move into teaching common phonics spelling patterns to help students continue to grow in their reading and writing. First Grade: all are as away back be because been but by came can come did from get going had has have he her here him his how if into little look make. As students start to recognize these words, their reading fluency (do they sound like fluent readers) and accuracy increase. When your child comes across one of these words when reading, try to point it out and remind them that it may not be able to be sounded out. The reason these are called “sight words” or “high frequency words” is because they are words that we frequently come across as readers and at times they do not follow spelling patterns, so therefore cannot be sounded out. This list of kindergarten sight words includes the most commonly used words every kid should know, also called high frequency words. Learning them helps children become more confident readers. Print two sets of the flashcards and play a family game of memory! Updated on Sight words are words that appear frequently in most of the text people read, but can't easily be sounded out. The sight words can be found on our First Grade Website in both list and flashcard format if you are interested in printing at home for practice. These words will help your child progress as a reader. The week numbers correlate the to week we are on for Being a Reader, so the week number may not align with the actual week of school, as we will occasionally take a break from introducing new words some weeks. We have broken them up so that a small set of words can be focused on each week.

The list is in alphabetical order so it should be easier to find words to spell.Īdditionally, every week on your child’s homework, you will see weekly sight words that correspond with this list. With regards to spelling these words, we do not expect first graders to spell every single one of these words correctly, but you can still use this list as a way to help improve their spelling when they write as many are words they will write frequently. You can use this list to help your child practice at home.

Below you will find a list of the 122 CCC sight words your child will be expected to know by the end of first grade (with review words from kindergarten as well).
