Sight Word
togetherwhichbring Not a Sight Word
butterflyrainbowrocket Together, which, and bring are common words on the Dolch sight word list that show up in almost every story, while butterfly, rainbow, and rocket are picture-noun words you usually sound out.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Let's play together at recess today.
The word "together" means with each other as a group, which is what "let's play" is inviting — two or more friends playing as one.
2. which color crayon do you want to use?
The word "which" is used to ask someone to choose between options, so it fits when you are picking one crayon from many colors.
3. Please bring your lunch box to school tomorrow.
The word "bring" means to carry something from where you are to another place, which is exactly taking your lunch box with you to school.
4. Please hold my hand when we cross the street.
To "hold" means to grab onto something and keep it close, which is what you do with a hand to stay safe while crossing the street.
5. She tried really hard on her spelling homework.
The word "tried" is the past tense of try, meaning she already put in effort — it fits because the homework has already been worked on.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. The word 'together' is a Dolch sight word.
True False
"Together" is on the Dolch list because it shows up often in everyday reading, so kids learn to recognize it at a glance instead of sounding it out.
2. The word 'butterfly' is a sight word.
True False
Butterfly is a picture-noun you can sound out by its parts — butter + fly — so it belongs to vocabulary words, not the Dolch sight word list.
3. The sight word 'bring' means to carry something to a place.
True False
When someone says "bring your coat," they want you to carry it with you to where they are — so this is exactly what the word means.
4. The word 'rocket' is a Dolch sight word.
True False
Rocket is a noun that names a specific object, and the Dolch list only contains high-frequency words like "and," "the," and "go" — not picture-noun vocabulary.
