Here come handy words that start with the letter H!
Before you start to work on these helpful vocabulary words that start with the letter H, select the sight word and spelling activities that work best for your family.
SIGHT WORD LIST
As we start to list Kindergarten Sight Words and 1st Grade Sight Words, it becomes apparent that there are far too many to try to teach at once. But – we have a solution! We are grouping these challenging words by the letter they start with. This helps to keep lessons fun and on-point without being overwhelming. We love being able to have a short sight word list for the letter H ready for you to share with your child.
KINDERGARTEN SIGHT WORDS:
If you’re having any trouble figuring out how to make a sight word memorable to a Kindergartner, my first instinct is always to ask them what they think the word is. Then, you will be more able to find what is connecting for them already. From there, you can follow their natural learning style to a solution that cements their understanding of the letter H.
1ST GRADE SIGHT WORDS:
- Head
- Hours
- Horse
- House
- Hurt
There is no perfect method for how to teach sight words to everyone, only the methods that work best for each individual. If your child is struggling to make a connection, consider
trying a new strategy! There are always new
sight word activities being created.

suffix can make for a new step in education as you drill difficult spelling and grammar concepts. Spelling lists aim to expand vocabulary, but they are only the base for understanding.
There are always fun ways to include learning in our daily lives. If you catch yourself using any of our spelling words in conversation – even if you just see it on a billboard while driving to the grocery store – make a note of it to your child. If you seem hyped about it, they will join in and start to use their new skills to recognize the words, themselves!
Before long, you’ll be unable to go anywhere without your child making sure you see all of the words that start with the letter H.
