Sight Words Set 2 – Listen and Pick the Right Word
Sight words are the little words that appear again and again in story books, such as he, she, said and have. Children read faster and more happily when they know these words by sight instead of sounding them out every time.
In this free activity, a word flashes on the screen for a few seconds, your child hears it spoken aloud, and then picks the matching word from a set of choices. It is a gentle, playful way to build reading confidence at home or in the classroom, with no login needed.
How to play
- Press start and watch the sight word flash on the screen.
- Listen carefully to the voice reading the word aloud.
- Look at the answer choices and tap the word you just saw and heard.
- Keep going through the set, and say each word out loud together for extra practice.
This activity helps your child build an instant reading vocabulary of high-frequency words from Set 2, including he, she, we, you, they, said, have, with, this, that, was and are. Children practise three skills at once: visual word recognition, careful listening, and matching sound to print. Because these words make up a large part of early story books, knowing them by sight frees your child's attention for understanding the story. Try two short rounds a day rather than one long session, and invite your child to use each word in a spoken sentence afterwards.
