Sight Word Checklist
Use this sight word checklist to track your child’s progression. Our kindergarten teacher assessed quarterly “tests” to determine which words a student could recognize upon sight. She tracked each student’s progress by using different color highlighters, e.g. fall (orange), winter (green) and spring (yellow). Click here for a PDF file of the sight word checklist.
Sight Words Flash Cards
Flash cards can assist a child in automatically recognizing sight words. Sight word flashcards are easy to make – all you need is a pen and paper or index cards. We created three types of flash cards:
- Using regular font,
- Using dotted lines, and
- Using a bubble font.
Using the dotted line flash cards, let your child trace the letters on each card. Using the bubble font flash cards, let your child decorate each flash card. Color each sight word and when applicable add a drawing to represent the word (some words will be more difficult than others to illustrate, e.g., as, of). For a more formal look, use the regular font sight word flash cards. You will most likely use these cards many times, so please consider laminating each flash card or printing on card stock paper.
The PDF files noted below contain 1 page or eight sight words. Many educators recommend gradually introducing sight words as well as review previously learned ones every day.

Love your flashcards, but most of the dotted lines cards are not there or they have the wrong words.
