First Grade Sight Words
What are sight words? Sight words are words that we teach our young readers to know by heart. That way, they don't have to spend valuable time decoding them. In first grade, we will spend time reviewing our kindergarten sight words and then each child will work at his/her own pace to master the first grade and second grade sight word list.
