About Sight Words Flashcards

Sight words are the small, common words that appear over and over in early reading: the, and, was, they. Most can’t be sounded out reliably, so they need to be recognised on sight — and the only way to get there is short, frequent practice.

What makes ours different

• Tricky pile: tap "Practise again" on any word and it joins your tricky pile. The "Tricky pile" level lets your child drill only the words they actually struggle with.
• Public-domain Dolch lists: we use the standard Dolch sets, the lists most teachers and schools use.
• One word, big and clear: no clutter, no ads, just the word.

Lists included

• Dolch Pre-K (40 words)
• Dolch Primer (52 words)
• Dolch 1st Grade (41 words)
• Dolch 2nd Grade (46 words)
• Dolch 3rd Grade (41 words)

How to play

1. Pick a list, then tap Start.
2. Read the word out loud.
3. Tap Knew it if your child read it confidently.
4. Tap Practise again if it was hard — it joins the tricky pile for next time.
5. Use arrow keys (← tricky, → knew it) on a keyboard.
