Sight Words Practice

Free sight word practice with the Dolch lists (pre-primer, primer, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade) and Fry’s first 100 words. Flashcards show one big word at a time with a read-aloud button; students sort words into “I know it” and “practice”.

“Hear it, find it” reads a word aloud and students tap it from four choices – great for independent practice with headphones.
