How this list was compiled: Our own choice of 48 short, common words that early readers learn to know on sight, October 2026, with a sentence of our own for each. The three lists are our own split by length (three letters, four letters, five to seven letters); they follow no published sight word list and none of its levels. Spellings were checked against a standard English word list. What a sight word is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sight_word, read on 2026-10-15. Licence: own work

How it works

This sight word scramble opens on ten kindergarten words of three letters, such as the, she and was. Under each mix is a sentence with a gap the word fills, and a word bank stands at the foot.

Three lists by grade

Kindergarten is 16 three-letter words: the, and, you, was, are, one. First grade has four letters: said, they, what, have, from, were. Second grade runs from five to seven letters: where, could, there, because, friend. A sheet takes ten words from its list, and New scramble deals another ten.

A sight word unscramble with a sentence

Each sentence is our own, such as I see ___ cat. The child sorts the letters, finds the word in the bank and reads the sentence with the word in it. The letters print in lower case, the way the words look in a book.

No two words here share the same letters: was is listed and saw is not, so each mix matches one bank word.
Two-letter words such as to, is and my are left out: a two-letter mix is only the word backwards.

Questions and answers

How do I help a class unscramble sight words?

Read the word bank aloud first. Then pupils count the letters of a mix, find a bank word of that length and cross it off. The sentence under the mix is the check: the word has to make sense in the gap.

Can I scramble my own sight words?

Yes. Type over any word on the sheet, or paste this week's list into the last line, one word to a line. The mix follows as you type, and your words are kept in this browser.
