Flash Card Checklist

Sight Words Flash Cards

Sight word flash cards are a great tool that offer repeated exposure to high frequency words. Flashcards are extremely affordable and very easy to make – all you need is a pen and some paper (preferably index cards). Using different fonts, we added some additional activities to the typical sight word flash card instruction. We created three different types of flash cards using the following fonts:

• Regular font,
• Dotted lines, and
• Bubble font.

If your child needs practice writing each sight word, consider using the dotted line flash cards. If your child is creative and enjoys coloring, consider using the flash cards with bubble fonts. Color each sight word and add a stick figure to represent the word (some words will be more difficult than others to illustrate, e.g., if). You could also look for pictures or words in a magazine and glue them to the flash card. The regular font sight word flash cards will give you a traditional looking flash card. Consider laminating each flash card as you will most likely use these cards numerous times.

Each PDF file noted below contains 1 page or eight or less sight words per file. Ideally begin with 5 to 10 words and gradually introduce new ones. Remember to review previously learned words daily.

Note A : The word, shall, is not as prevalent today as it was when Dolch originally created his sight word list.

Once your child masters all of these words, review previously learned ones using Sight Words Flash Cards .

3rd Grade Dolch Sight Words List

Printable dolch sight words worksheet.

A common approach to teaching sight words to children is to start with high frequency words and pick a handful to teach to the child on a week by week basis - or however long it takes for the child to know how to "read" those words. With the Dolch sight words, you would start with the pre-primer level words, and work your way up to the grade 3 level, and learn to "read" a total of 220 sight words.

By "reading", a more appropriate term would probably be "memorizing", because said bluntly, that's exactly what it is. Without learning phonics or alphabet letter sound instructions (phonetics), the only things a child can focus on to help them "read" are the shapes and configurations of the words.

We do not advocate teaching a child to read using only sight words. Please see the related links above to find out why.

In the video below, you will see a 3 year old boy reading through the 3rd grade dolch words.

How does a 3 year old read grade three sight words? And read it without memorization? Simple... by learning to read phonetically through the combination of phonics and developing phonemic awareness. That small boy is our 2nd child, Ethan, who learned to read at age 2. His older sister also learned to read at two years old, and at age 5, she reads at a grade 5/6 level.

Memorization of "sight words" is not learning to read - it is a form of shape memorization, and does not lead to effective reading abilities.

If you're serious about teaching your child to read and help your child excel at reading, you need a step-by-step program that will teach your child to read phonetically - a program that will teach your child to effectively decode and read.

Differentiated Third Grade Sight Word Activities

By third grade, students are building their reading fluency skills and working on comprehension. Sight words make up a lot of the text in passages, so it’s essential that third grade students get ample practice with these words. A strong sight word fluency foundation allows students to focus their efforts on decoding words and comprehending what is read.

These sight word worksheets use sight words from the Dolch third grade sight words list. However, if you have students in second grade who are ready to take on more challenging words, these worksheets can be used to meet their learning needs. This also goes for students in fourth grade who may need to work on mastering the third grade list before moving on.

These third grade Dolch sight word printable worksheets can be used in a variety of instructional settings, such as:

If you find that your students have mastered the words on the 3rd grade sight word list, you can easily challenge them by extending the learning. After completing the sight word worksheet, have them read a leveled reader or a story from your curriculum that focuses on that sight word. They can also choose a sight word from the word wall or a stack of flash cards and write complete sentences using the word.

While it’s important to learn sight words and be able to recite them from memory, it’s also important that students practice them in many different ways, such as building the word, reading the word, finding it in a word search, and writing the word. These different opportunities for working with words is exactly what these sight word worksheets provide.

Implementing the Sight Word Worksheets

To implement the free printable third grade sight word worksheets in your classroom, the directions are very simple. Students will begin by reading the sight word of focus. They will move on and trace the word, following the numbers in order to ensure they’re writing the word with proper technique and directionality. Then they’ll write the word independently on the line.

Next, students will use their creativity to color and decorate the word written in bubble letters. They will then find the sight word hidden in the word search and circle it. To make this even more engaging, they can use a highlighter or marker to circle it.

After that, the students will look at the letters of the alphabet and color in the letters that spell the sight word. Finally, they’ll fill in the missing letters in the words at the bottom of the worksheet to spell the word correctly.

As you can see, there are so many great learning opportunities for your students as they practice their sight words with these free printable worksheets.
