Sight Word Tracing Worksheets

Free. No ads. No sign-up.

Pick a Dolch level and every word on that list gets its own row: a solid model with numbered stroke arrows, a dark dotted copy, a light dotted copy, then space to write the word alone.

Pick a built-in list, or choose My own words and type them below.

The five Dolch lists

The pre-primer list (40 words) is the one loaded first. The level menu also holds primer (52), first grade (41), second grade (46) and third grade (41): the five levels Edward William Dolch published in 1936, as printed by ReadWriteThink (IRA/NCTE). For only this week's words, choose My own words and type them with commas between.

Questions and answers

Which sight word lists are included?

The five Dolch lists: pre-primer (40 words), primer (52), first grade (41), second grade (46) and third grade (41), from Edward William Dolch's 1936 list as printed by ReadWriteThink (IRA/NCTE). The Dolch nouns are not included.

Is the Fry list here?

Not yet. The Fry list is held while its reproduction rights are checked, so only the Dolch lists are offered. Any words can be typed under My own words.

Which page has one sheet per sight word?

Sight Word Worksheets does: a ready-made page for every word, where it is read, traced, written and found. This generator puts a whole list on one sheet instead, drawn in the letter style, size, guide lines and paper picked above.

Can I put a name on the sheet?

Yes. Type a first name under Options and it is drawn on the Name line at the top. The name is used only to draw the sheet and is not saved on this site's server.

What if one word is much longer than the rest?

That word alone is drawn at a smaller size, so its model and at least one dotted copy still fit across the row. Every other word on the sheet stays at the size picked in Options.
