What if I am new to sight word instruction?

If you are new to sight word instruction in your classroom, begin by reading about What Sight Words Are & Why Sight Word Instruction is Important. You will also be able to learn about the difference between Fry Words and Dolch Words.

I have created Fry Word Lists and Checkboxes that will be helpful. If you are looking for a way to assess and track growth, you might like to use Fry Word Checklists.

Using Fry Word Cards in the Classroom

The Fry Word cards provided below are available with a white background as well as a blue watercolor style. You can pick the set that works best for your classroom.

Not sure what you will do with these Fry cards? Here are a few ideas:

Create a word wall. You can add new words to the word wall as new words are introduced in your classroom.
Give students a ring of words. Print the words on card stock and cut apart. Using a binder ring, create a stack for students to use. These can be added to their bag of books so that they are practicing words that are just right for them.
Copy two of a page and let students play a matching game.
Teach students how to play go fish with a set of double cards.
Use as word cards at a word work center. Students can choose cards for rainbow writing, tracing or other activities.
