3 Free Sight Word Books for Kids

Today, as I was scouring Amazon, I found three sight word books for kids listed as free for today. I like to download these to add to my collection for my readers. Click on the book cover or link to download your own!

Please remember that the free status of books can and will change without notice at times. These are all free as of the time of my post.


Sight Word Sentences Lesson 1: 5 Sentences Teach 20 Sight Words with Flash Cards (Learn to Read Sight Words)


Blurb from Amazon:

Learn 20 sight words with fun sight word sentences and easy to use sight word flash cards.

The words in this lesson are: a, and, ball, blue, boy, cat, dog, down, fish, girl (and girls), go, has, I, is, little, look, said, see, the & up.

This book is divided into four sections:
- Sentences: This section is designed to teach your child to recognize sight words in a sentence. The five sentences in this book use the 20 words in this lesson.
- Words (alphabetized) - Practice the sight words with flash cards.
- Word Flash Cards then Sentences - Read the words in the sentence then read them all together.
- Sentences then Word Flash Cards - Read the complete sentence, then read each word one at a time!

So what are sight words?: Many of the most frequently used words in English are difficult to sound out and instead, need to be recognized on “sight” for a child to become a proficient reader. Sight words can be known by other names as well including High-frequency words, Dolch words (named after Edward William Dolch, PhD who first compiled the list in 1936), Fry words (named after Dr. Edward B. Fry's who updated the list in 1996), Instant words, Star words and more!
