Sight Words Word Search - Fun Reading Practice!

I created this word search to help my first graders recognize common sight words faster. It's packed with 24 essential words like "the," "and," "was," and "you" that young readers need to know. The words are hidden up, down, and sideways to make it challenging but doable.

What you get:
• 2 printable pages (word search + answer key)
• Simple, clean layout that's easy to read
• Common sight words from Dolch and Fry lists
• Bonus tracing activity on page 2

Mrs. Johnson at Parkview Elementary told me: "My struggling readers loved finding words they actually knew!" The kids get so excited when they spot words they recognize from their books.

Perfect for:

• Kindergarten and 1st grade

• Literacy centers

• Morning work

• Homework reinforcement

• RTI groups

The words include:
the, and, for, are, with, his

Teacher tip: Have students highlight found words in their reading books for extra practice!
