Sight Words — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. some
2. them
3. of
4. who
5. saw
6. say
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. I gave them my apple slices.
Them is a sight word because the th blend is hard to decode phonetically. Learning it quickly helps children describe groups of people or objects in their storybook sentences.
2. Can I have some water, please?
Some breaks the silent-e rule because the o is short, not long. First graders must memorize it by sight to avoid reading it as sohm during independent reading time.
3. The boy saw a rainbow outside.
Saw is a past-tense sight word children meet in recount stories. Recognizing it quickly helps first graders follow what characters noticed or observed in the events of a tale.
4. Please say hello to grandma.
Say uses the ay vowel team that first graders are still mastering. Memorizing it as a sight word supports fluent reading of dialogue and polite speaking prompts in class.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. Some birds can fly high up in the sky.
True False
Some means a portion of a group. Since many birds really do fly high, this statement is true and shows how sight words appear in true nature facts.
2. I saw a purple elephant dancing in class.
True False
Saw is past tense of see. Purple dancing elephants belong to fantasy, not classrooms, so this statement is false even though the sight word saw is spelled correctly.
3. We say thank you when someone helps us.
True False
Say is a sight word for speaking words aloud. Saying thank you is a real polite habit, so this everyday-manners statement is true and worth practicing.
