Why These Flashcards Are So Handy

Early sight words are the foundation of reading confidence. These flashcards make learning fun and stress-free with:

  • High-contrast, bold and normal fonts for easy recognition
  • A yellow border for simple cutting
  • Printable pages that are perfect for classroom or home
  • Ring-ready cards to help you keep them organized

Seriously — once you punch a hole in the corner and clip them to a ring, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them!


How to Print:

  • Print single-sided on white cardstock for durability
  • Choose “Actual Size” or 100% scale in your printer settings
  • Optional: Laminate before cutting to make the cards reusable
  • Cut along the yellow borders for clean, even flashcards


How to Use:

  • Add to a ring clip for daily review or on-the-go learning
  • Use in morning work, centers, take-home folders, or 1:1 practice
  • Play games like Sight Word Bingo, Memory, Go Fish, or Swat the Word
  • Pair with tracing, coloring, or writing worksheets for extra reinforcement

These are especially helpful for kids who thrive with hands-on visuals. Make it playful — let them decorate the backs or sort by color, shape, or how many letters are in each word!


Level Labeling:

Each flashcard includes a small “Pre-Primer” label in the top-right corner. This helps you organize by level as you move through Dolch lists without overwhelming young learners.
