None of the sight words have been coded or marked in anyway, so you have a blank template to work with.4 the or will number of one up no and had other way a by about could to words out people in but many my is not then than you what them first that all these water it were so been he we some called was when her who for your would am on can make its are said like now as there him find with use into long his an time down they each has day I which look did at she two get be do more come this how write made have their go may from if see partįor the first 100 words. *If you disagree with the way I have categorized any sight word on this list, including the “oddball” words, you are more than welcome to teach them the way that works best for you and your learners. Through careful study of more words, you and your learners may realize that some of these words are not truly “oddballs” at all! For example, the ey in they matches the pattern found in prey, whey, and obey. With these words, be sure to explicitly discuss the parts of the word that both DO and DON’T follow their expected sounds. Since the ai sounds like /ĕ/ instead, it is considered an “oddball.” The word they has the /ā/ sound at the end, but the ey pattern is used instead of the expected ay pattern.
On the chart, you’ll see the term “oddball.” This comes from my Words Their Way training, and is a wonderful way to explicitly teach the parts of a sight word that are expected/regular and the parts that are not expected/not regular.Īs explained at the end of the chart, an “oddball” can either be: For example, you’ll find all the CVC words listed together such as: but, at, is, had, and yes.īecause many sight words can be fully sounded out using phonics and nearly all the others can be partially sounded out, combining the two strategies is a POWERFUL way to teach sight words! Not only is there a chart, but all 250 sight words are then provided via flashcards by their phonics skills! Quick Confession: These are really high frequency word flashcards, as they feature all of Fry’s first 100 words, all of Dolch’s words by their phonics pattern.
