What's on this sheet
- Trace-and-write rows for common sight words
- Words such as the, and, is, to
- Extra writing lines for repetition
- Story-themed framing for Sr KG engagement
Sight words appear often in early readers. Trace, say, then write — keep the list short each night.
Age fit: Sr KG writers who know some letter sounds and are beginning English readers in Indian English-medium preschools.
Ten-minute session script: “Word of the evening.” Pick one sight word, trace together, write in air, write on sheet, use it in one spoken sentence about dinner, stop.
Common mistakes: Treating sight words as spelling tests; writing whole lists from memory too early; comparing to children who memorised Oxford lists over summer.
When to stop: When letters reverse in every word, or when tears appear over ‘the’ — sight words need repetition across weeks, not one heroic night.
Indian context tip: Sight words appear on school word walls and assembly charts. Photograph your child’s classroom word list if allowed — align home practice with school order.
How to use this worksheet
- Introduce only three sight words per sitting — the, and, is, to appear on the sheet but rotate focus.
- Trace with finger, trace with pencil, write once in the box — that sequence builds memory.
- Say each word in a short sentence: “The cat is here.”
- Do not drill more than six total words in one evening.
- Stop when handwriting slumps — sight words return tomorrow.
Frequently asked questions
How many sight words should Sr KG practise?
Three to six words in one sitting is enough. Mastery beats long lists.
Should Sr KG memorise spelling or recognise by sight?
Recognition first — many sight words break phonics rules. Spelling precision grows in Class 1.
My child writes ‘teh’ for the. Fix every time?
Model once calmly per session. Over-correction kills willingness to write.
Can we add Hindi high-frequency words too?
Yes on different days — keep scripts separate within one sitting to avoid script mix-ups on the same page.
How does this connect to reading homework?
Pair with five minutes of picture book reading pointing out the same sight words in sentences.
