Worksheets › Sight Words (K-1)
About a hundred words make up half of any page a child reads, and most of them cannot be sounded out. This sheet drills recognizing them in isolation and using them inside a real sentence, with a complete answer key at the bottom. Generate a fresh one whenever you need more practice.
These printables come straight from Lit Ladder - an adaptive K-12 reading program that gives your child a quick placement check, finds exactly where they are (not just their grade), and moves them up one skill at a time - from hearing the sounds in a spoken word to weighing evidence in a nonfiction text.
It's free during our beta, with no ads and no third-party trackers - kid logins are username-only and parent-managed.

Do they include an answer key?
Every worksheet has a full answer key at the bottom of the page.
What grades are these sight word worksheets for?
They are designed for kindergarten and grade 1.
Does my child need to read the questions alone?
No. Print it and read the instructions aloud if that is what the sheet needs - at these ages the point is the skill, not whether they can decode the directions.
