Learning high-frequency words, also known as sight words, is a key part of early reading success. These commonly used words often don’t follow regular spelling rules, so recognizing them by sight can help young readers build reading fluency, grow their vocabulary, and boost spelling skills.

For kids in preschool through second grade, practicing with sight word lists can make it easier to master these important words, as practice becomes more straightforward. Organized by grade level, these free printable lists of sight words provide a simple, effective way to support reading development at home or in the classroom.

Tip for Teaching Sight Words

Sight words were once thought to be best learned through memorization. However, it’s now believed that children learn them more effectively by using familiar phonics and letter sounds. This helps them break words into parts instead of memorizing them as wholes. Our How to Teach Sight Words post shares more tips for teaching sight words.
