Who this sight words tracker is for

This tracker is for parents and teachers helping early readers learn sight words. It suits preschool, kindergarten and first grade classrooms, homeschool families and tutors working with beginning readers. Sight words are the common words children need to recognize instantly, and steady practice with games and cards makes reading feel easier and more fun. Tracking each word shows children how much they know and keeps practice focused on the words still to learn.

How to use your sight words tracker

Practice word lists 1 and 2, add your own words, track the class, play practice games, use word cards and award a certificate. Start with word list 1 and test which words your child or class already knows. Highlight words to practice and add any extra words on the my words page. Use the class tracker to see each student's progress at a glance. Play practice games, such as word hunts and memory, with the printable word cards. Review a few words daily, move on to word list 2 when ready, and celebrate with the certificate.
