What is the best way to practice sight words at home?

Use short daily sessions of 5-10 minutes. Flash cards, reading games, and writing sentences with sight words all reinforce recognition. Multi-sensory approaches (see it, say it, write it, use it in a sentence) are most effective. Sight word worksheets that combine tracing, writing, and sentence completion cover all modalities.

What is the difference between Dolch and Fry sight word lists?

The Dolch list contains 220 service words plus 95 common nouns, organized by grade level (pre-primer through 3rd grade). The Fry list contains 1,000 words organized by frequency. Both lists overlap significantly. Most schools use one or the other, and both are effective for building reading fluency.
