Kindergarten Sight Words Sight Words
     Our 49 Kindergarten Sight Words (listed above) are the 49 most frequently used words in the English language.  Students who learn these words have a good base for beginning reading.   Many of these words cannot be sounded out because they do not follow decoding rules, so they must be learned as sight words.  

    

Here are some fun ways to practice your Kindergarten Sight Words at home.  

Remember, it's a goal that every child knows how to read and write these 49 words by the end of Kindergarten.
