Kindergarten teachers are often looking for effective ways to teach their students sight words. Many teachers use sight word games, sight word lists, and sight word activities. The appropriate method for teaching kindergarteners sight words should be determined by the teacher through assessment of age appropriateness, learning disabilities and other student/classroom related factors.
Sight words are the most common words used in the English language and should be recognized on sight. Sight words are the core foundation for reading and are taught in every elementary school. Kindergarten sight words lists are important for enhancing student reading. The word list is made up of words that frequently appear in preschool and kindergarten level reading material.
While there are several kindergarten sight words lists one of the most common lists is the Dolch Kindergarten Sight Word List. The Dolch Kindergarten Sight Word List is made up of primer level words and was created by Dr. E.W. Dolch in the 1930’s.
Primer or kindergarten level sight words are as follows: all, am, are, at, ate, be, black, brown, but, came, did, do, eat, four, get, good, has, he, into, like, must, new, no, now, on, our, out, please pretty, ran, ride, saw, say, she, so, son, that, there, they, this, too, under, want, was, well, went, what, white, who, will, with, yes
