Sight words are the words kids need to recognize instantly — without sounding them out — because they either appear too often to slow down for (the, and, was) or don’t follow regular phonics rules (said, of, who). Mastering them is one of the biggest levers for early reading fluency, but fitting dedicated practice time into an already packed school day is hard.
Our new Sight Words tool makes it a five-minute activity instead of a whole lesson plan.
Two ways to practice:
- Flashcards — see the word, tap the speaker to hear it read aloud, then mark it “Got It!” or “Still Learning” to build your own practice deck as you go
- Quick Match — the word is spoken aloud, and the student picks the matching word from four choices, a nice bridge activity for kids who aren’t confident spelling yet but can recognize a word visually
Five levels, matching the classic Dolch word lists most reading programs already use — Pre-Primer, Primer, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade — so it slots directly into whatever sequence a student’s already following, rather than introducing a new system to learn.
Like our other tools, there’s no login, no data collected, and no ads — just open it and start practicing.
