Mastering Grade 1 Sight Words

The Dolch Grade 1 list represents the foundational vocabulary for early readers. At this stage, words become slightly more complex (e.g., "could", "know", "think"). Practicing these words helps students transition from sounding out every word to reading fluid sentences.

💡 Teaching Tip

Don't try to teach all 41 words at once. Delete most of the words from the input box above and focus on just 10 words per week. Once those are mastered, generate a new sheet with the next batch.
