Which sight words are included?
Common high-frequency words: the, and, said, was, for, are, with, they, this, have, from, were, what, will, your and can. These are the words that appear most often in early reading books.
Why a word search for sight words?
Recognising a word out of context — spotting 'said' in a grid of letters — is exactly the instant-recognition skill sight words demand. The search format makes that drill feel like a game, and the short words keep the grid easy.
Can I use my class's word list?
Yes — the generator takes any list, so you can build a search from this week's exact sight words and print a fresh one each week with the answer key.
