About this worksheet
A one-page checklist of all 41 Dolch First Grade sight words, from "after" to "when", with an "I can read it" box for each word and progress stars to color. Handy for tracking which words a child knows. First graders can read it on their own and ask for help only with the trickier words.
Tips for using it
- Test with flash cards in a random order: a child who reads a list top to bottom may be remembering the order, not the words.
- Count a word as known when your child reads it within about three seconds on two different days.
- Work on one list at a time, but keep reviewing the earlier lists so old words stay fresh.
- Write the date in the box instead of a check mark to see how fast progress is.
Printing tips
Download the PDF for the sharpest result and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). The PNG is 300 DPI, which is handy for tablets and coloring apps. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
