Sight Word Flashcards
Some words show up on almost every page, the, and, was, said, and they are learned by sight instead of being sounded out. This tool makes printable flashcards for those high-frequency sight words. Start from a ready set or your own list, practice on screen one card at a time, then print a clean set to cut out.

What the Sight Word Flashcards do
A small group of words does most of the work in any sentence, words like the, of, was, and they. Many of them do not follow tidy spelling rules, so a child cannot easily sound them out. The fastest way for these words to feel familiar is to meet them often as whole words, until they are recognized instantly. That is exactly what flashcards are for.
Sight Word Flashcards lets you start from a ready set of the most common words or type your own, practice them on screen one clear card at a time, and print a set to cut out for the table, the wall, or the car. It is a calm, low-pressure way to build the automatic word recognition that makes reading flow, with nothing leaving your device. From kindlexy.com.
