Sight Words Worksheets

Sight words can be particularly tricky for little ones to learn, mainly because these words cannot be sounded out using conventional phonetic principles. One way to overcome this obstacle is to print out our sight words worksheets. With themed word searches, matching games, professionally illustrated coloring pages, and other fun activities, your young learner will master key words like the, are, does, who, not, and one in no time!

Here’s the interesting thing about sight words: Once we master them, we never think about them again. But we also quickly forget just how difficult they were to learn. To the trained reader, words such as boy, girl, he, me, has, have, do, and does are easy to read, spell, and understand. But for beginning readers with developing brains, these sight words can be extremely tricky to grasp. Thanks to our sight words worksheets, parents and teachers can ease the confusion and put kids on the fast track to sight word proficiency.

One reason our sight words worksheets are so effective is they feature vibrant colors, as well as professionally drawn illustrations of recognizable objects, creatures, and characters to keep kids engaged as they learn. While you’ll never run out of sight word worksheets to print out, another fun way to practice this vital skill is during bedtime reading. Have your child flip through his favorite book and see if he can point to words like kite, orange, and egg. When he succeeds, lavish him with praise and watch his face light up!
