I had the idea to make a sight word bingo game using my daughters' high frequency sight words. She came home a few days ago saying that she had so much fun playing bingo at school, but that she never wins.
My daughter's teacher sent home a key ring of kindergarten sight words for her to practice at the beginning of the year. These are words that are high frequency and also include the most common colors. She loves practicing them everyday.
The Fry Sight Words list is a more modern list of words than the Dolch list, and was extended to capture the most common 1,000 words.Dr. Edward Fry developed this expanded list in the 1950s (and updated it in 1980), based on the most common words to appear in reading materials used in Grades 3-9.
