About this worksheet

Two sight words hidden six times each among other sight words.

What kids practice

Sight words are common words kids should know instantly, without sounding them out. Many, like of, once and could, don't follow phonics rules. These sheets use the 41 first-grade Dolch sight words, such as after, again, could, every, from, know, once, some, were and when.

Watch for

  • Mixing up words that look alike, like then and them, or when and were.
  • Sounding out words that can't be sounded out, like o-f for of.
  • Learning words on cards but not in sentences. Always read them in context too.

It's free to print, with an answer key. See the full first-grade sight words guide for 1st grade.
