You can also download the list of 300 additional words that my second graders had to learn here.Īll of the first grade teachers at my school (and Kindergarten!) are using my HeidiSongs Sight Word Songs to help teach kids to recognize and spell the sight words. You can download the list of 300 first grade sight words here. After that, words 51-75 formed list 1-B, and words 76-100 formed list 1-C. The only exception is the first list of one hundred words, which I only split into three chunks, because most of the children learned the first 50 words in Kindergarten, so those 50 words made up list 1-A. The list that my district gives us is broken down into three lists of one hundred words each, but in my opinion, this is still too much for a six year old to handle! I took each list of one hundred words and split them into four lists of 25 words each. So break it down into smaller, easier to handle chunks! Even if a child is fortunate enough to have a parent that is willing to help, I firmly believe that sending home a list of 300 words for the child to learn is a big mistake! A busy parent will be just as overwhelmed with this as a child. The most important thing you can do to help a struggling learner is to avoid giving them too many words to learn all at the same time. Three hundred new words is an overwhelming amount to give any child to learn, whether they are in first grade, second grade, or beyond.
