First Grade Sight Word Worksheets

In addition, they should be able to write independently using simple and compound sentences. These first grade sight word worksheets offer the perfect exercise to assist a child in achieving these milestones.

Sight Word Worksheets Checklist

Assist your child and ask questions to prompt her to proofread her work and correct any errors. When your child is ready, encourage him to proof his own writing by asking the following questions.

1. Did I put my name on my paper?
2. Did I write three or more sentences?
3. Did I use an uppercase letter at the beginning of the sentence and lowercase letters for the rest of the sentence unless it is the first letter of a proper noun?
4. Did I use punctuation at the end of the sentence – . ! ?
5. Did I spell the sight words correctly?
6. Did I put spaces between my words and letters within a word close together?
7. Did I take my time and use my best handwriting?
8. Did I reread my writing to make sure it makes sense?
