Kindergarten Sight Words

Polk County Schools Kindergarten High Frequency Word List

Kindergarten students are expected to know 71 high frequency words

by the end of the school year. Students are asked to read these words

aloud from a list. Words are scored as being correct if they are

recognized and pronounced accurately and quickly. Mastering

increasing number of high frequency words is evidence that students

are moving toward becoming fluent readers.

The emphasis on these basic words is to promote reading success for

students by establishing the opportunity to acquire vocabulary that is

encountered consistently in printed material.

Acquiring a large reading vocabulary is the foundation for the

comprehension of printed text. This is a key to reading success.
