These flash cards were created using Dolch’s list of 220 most common words found in print. In addition, we created flash cards based on MCPS kindergarten curriculum that encourages each student to automatically recognize at a minimum 25 words by the end of the school year.

Flash cards are inexpensive and quite effective at helping a child develop a sight word vocabulary because repeated exposure to high frequency words greatly aids in automatic recognition.

Flash Cards Instruction
The following is an ideal sight word flash card session:
- Select several sight words, e.g., 5 – 10.
- Prior to the lesson, write each sight word on the index card (or print out our PDF files). Review each card with your child saying the sight word aloud. Then ask your child to say the word with you.
- Point to each letter and say its name aloud. Then ask your child to spell the sight word with you.
- Ask your child to read the sight word and then write it in their notebook five times.
- I like to state the obviously, make sure your child spells the word correctly.
- Repeat these steps with the other sight words.
- Using the flash cards, review each sight word. Mix up the cards, and “flash” them to your child. If your child struggles with a word, offer assistance.
Every child progresses differently, the number of sight words a child can automatically recognize will vary. Always review previously taught sight words daily and gradually introduce new ones.
