Editable sight word worksheets for preschool, kindergarten and first grade

Each word gets its own practice box: children read the word, trace it on handwriting lines, write it on their own and circle it among similar words. Pick words from the built-in Dolch and Fry lists or type the exact words your class is learning this week.

Why read, trace, write and find works

Seeing, saying, writing and searching for the same word builds instant recognition — the goal of sight word practice. The circle-it activity mixes the target word with other high-frequency words, so children must look carefully at every letter.
