Practice reading high frequency words by sight with a set of 6 Dolch Pre-Primer Sight Words game boards.
Dolch’s word list of 220 high-frequency sight words begins with the Pre-Primer list—36 words early readers will first discover, and eventually know by heart.
In this activity, students will read the sight words on the mats and cover each word using red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple connecting cubes.

Scaffolding and Extension Tips + More Pre Primer Dolch Words Practice
Use this resource as independent practice for fast finishers, and for full-class learning opportunities like scoot activities, lesson reviews, formative assessments, and more.
Challenge students who already understand the concept by having them record the sight words on a whiteboard or piece of paper.
Invite students to use a visual reminder, like an anchor chart or an alphabet display, to sound out words they may struggle with.
Draw It!
This activity can also be used as a formative assessment. Project on a board for the whole class to see. Have each student pick 3 words and write them on a separate sheet of paper. Then, have the students draw a picture for each word, showing they’ve read the word and understand what it is.
Alphabetical Ordering
After students finish the game, challenge them to put the words on their cards in alphabetical order.
