SIGHT WORD LIST

Some letter G words really don’t make sense. Not even when we try to sound them out, letter by letter! For those words, we rely on memorizing a list of sight words. This list of words can be as long or as short as you like depending upon the needs of your child. If your child has something mastered, keep it in rotation of study in order to keep them confident and sure of themselves. As we start to gather Kindergarten Sight Words and 1st Grade Sight Words, one can easily tell there are too many to teach at once. Luckily – we have come up with a solution! Grouping these difficult words by the letter they start with is a great guide to our progress as well as making lessons more efficient. By grouping by letter, we are able to create entire categories of activities that help you teach the alphabet. We love being able to present a sight word list for the letter G ready to you.

At the end of the day, there is no perfect answer for how to teach sight words to everyone, only the methods that work best for each student, individually. If you are struggling, consider trying a new strategy! There are always new sight word activities being created.
