 FAQ Page
Where do these sight words come from?
Third Grade: Dolch 3rd grade and Fry’s third one-hundred words
Fourth Grade: Fry’s fourth one-hundred words and various online 4th grade resources
Fifth Grade: Fry’s fifth one-hundred words and various online 5th grade resources

Why do you pull sight words from several lists?

Most sight word lists are copyrighted, so it’s against copyright laws to list words from a
single list. Pulling words from several lists also makes these lists more comprehensive.

Why do some of the words repeat?

Because words are combined from several lists (see question above), I decided not to
remove repeated words.

How do I use the sight word checklists?

Be sure to include your learner’s name and the dates of your assessments. Learners use
the sight word list and cover all but one column with an extra piece of paper. Learners read
straight down the columns, with the goal of reading each word within one second of seeing
it.
-If learners skip the word or read it incorrectly, do not mark anything in the blank.
-If learners take longer than one second, but still read the word correctly, place a vertical
line ONLY in the blank (-).
-If learners read the word correctly within one second, place a cross (+) to indicate they
have mastered that word.
-On subsequent assessments, learners can read all the words again, but listen specifically
for the words with no marking or just a – in the blank to see if they can become a - this
time.

Why do you have the extra 200 Word List?

If you teach 3rd through 5th grades, you may want to use this list first. It is a quick sight
word assessment based on Fry’s first 200 words to get a good idea of your learner’s base
line knowledge of sight words. If there are any of these words that give the learner
trouble, these are the words that you need to start with. When learners miss too many on
this extra list, they need to start back with the K-2 sight word lists.
