Dolch primer sight words worksheets

The primer list follows pre-primer and adds words like all, am, are, ate, be, black, brown and came. By this stage a child is combining sight words with early decoding, so recognising these instantly is what frees up attention for sounding out the words around them.

Work through the list in order rather than alphabetically — the sequence is designed so the most frequent words come first and start paying off in real books immediately.
