Help your kindergartner build reading confidence with this free printable sight word list. It is designed with early learners, dyslexic readers, and children with ADHD in mind.
This 2-page PDF includes all 40 foundational Dolch sight words organized into a clean, easy-to-read grid. Every word is color-coded by learning tier so there's no guesswork about where to begin:
🟡 Gold words — Pre-Primer sight words to master first 🔵 Blue words — Primer sight words to tackle next ⬜ White words — Stretch and challenge words to celebrate
A built-in practice tracker at the bottom of the word list lets your child color in a box every time they read through, because kids work harder when they can see their own progress.
