Sight words are the common words children need to know by sight, because many of them, such as said, was and were, do not sound the way they are spelled. Reading them without stopping to sound them out is what makes reading smooth. On this worksheet each question shows a sight word and three words that look much like it, and your child circles the word that is exactly the same.
The look-alike words are real words such as sad for said and saw for was, so the child has to look at every letter. Read each word out loud after circling. Short, frequent practice beats one long session.
