These are the very first words a child needs to begin reading — short, high-frequency words that appear on almost every page of a beginner book. Word Wizard's Pre-K set covers all 100, free forever, with pictures and native audio on every card.
Here are the first 30 of the 100 Pre-K sight words in Word Wizard, grouped in rows of 10:
Plus 70 more words rounding out the full Pre-K set — all free in the app, with no account or sign-up required.
Pre-K sight words are the words a beginning reader sees most often — but many of them (like "the", "was", "of") can't be sounded out with phonics rules alone. Children need to recognize these words instantly, by sight, so their attention is free for the harder job of decoding new words. Learning this first list is the single biggest head start a child can get before Kindergarten.
Every Pre-K word is shown with a picture (where the word can be pictured) and a natural example sentence, so the word has real meaning, not just letters.
Tap to hear each word spoken clearly — children learn the correct sound before they try to read it.
Flash Cards, Listen & Pick, Spell It, and Write It turn the same 100 words into four different games, so repetition never feels repetitive.
Most Pre-K programs target 25-50 sight words by the end of the year, building toward the full 100-word list used in Word Wizard and similar Dolch-based programs.
