These preschool sight word worksheets use the Dolch pre-primer list, the 40 easiest and most common words, six at a time with extra-large rows. Each row has the word in bold to read, dotted print letters to trace from the green start dot, and an empty primary line to try alone.

Preschoolers don't need to master sight words, and many 4-year-olds are still learning letters. If your child knows most letter sounds and asks about words, these sheets are a gentle start: begin with I, a, the, see and my, and read them in simple books together. Change Word group to move through all 40 pre-primer words.

Tips for using it

  • Keep sessions to five minutes and stop while it's still fun.
  • Use a thick crayon or triangular pencil for little hands.
