For younger children, use the kindergarten pool with your teacher’s guidance. Each word appears in one grade only; the practice sets are not a weekly schedule.

A FEW MINUTES TOGETHER

How to use your guide.

Choose three words

Choose up to three familiar school words from a practice set.

Say and notice

Say each word together. Look at its sounds and letters; notice any tricky part.

Build and read

Build the word with letters, then read it in a short sentence.

Practice again

Use the weekly planner to revisit words and notice progress.

Your PDF has the full routine, a worked example, writing spaces, and a planner you can reuse each week.

Questions about practice?

How many words should we practice?

The lists are grouped in sets of five for easy browsing. Start with up to three words your child has already met, and follow their energy and their teacher’s guidance.

What if my child guesses or gets stuck?

Look across the whole word together. Say the word and point out a useful sound or spelling, rather than asking for repeated guesses. Help promptly and end on a success.

How do we choose a level or move on?

Start with your child’s school list. Grade levels are a reference, not a deadline. Keep practicing tricky words and add new ones when reading feels easier across several short sessions.

How should I print the guide?

Print on A4 or US Letter using “Fit to printable area.” For just the word list, print the practice set pages shown in your PDF’s contents. Color is optional; the activities also work in black and white.

Learn sightwords combines commonly used school word lists, with repeats removed. Words are grouped by the earliest grade in those lists and ordered by frequency. Teaching approach informed by the What Works Clearinghouse reading guide.

KEEP READING TOGETHER

More support for your child’s reading.

With Ello, your child can read aloud with a reading companion that listens and responds.
