Set up this week's words in four steps
1. Add your child
A first name and grade are enough to begin.
2. Enter the teacher's words
Type a short list, like “the, said, was, you, are.”
3. Add interests (optional)
Sentences can mention things your child loves.
4. Start practicing
Your child moves through each round at their own pace.
What makes teacher lists easier
Teacher words stay separate
Dolch, Fry, and other starter lists are optional extra practice. Filter Home and Progress by Teacher or Extra.
Last week isn't lost
Words not yet mastered carry forward, and past weekly lists stay available.
Progress stays with the word
Reassigning a familiar word never resets what your child has practiced.
See what needs another try
First-try answers, retries, hints, and later-day recognition, with suggestions for what to practice.
No list yet? Explore kindergarten words or first-grade words.
A reason to return to practice
Each finished practice session earns a drop of water for your child's private garden. They choose which flower or vegetable to water, and a bunny shares the scene.
Questions parents ask
Can I enter any custom sight words?
You can type your own words in Weekly setup, separated by commas. Sentence activities use reviewed content where available; unsupported words stay in word-only practice.
Will teacher words be mixed up with extra practice?
Weekly setup keeps Teacher's words and Extra practice separate. Home and Progress offer Teacher and Extra filters. Teacher assignments take priority, and the same word retains one progress record.
What happens when the teacher sends a new list?
Create or edit the week's assignment. Words from the previous week that are not yet mastered carry forward, and past weekly lists remain available to review.
Do I need a teacher account or school connection?
No. A parent enters the list. Sightseed does not connect to your school, require a teacher login, or send your child's progress to a teacher.
Can I print the weekly words?
Yes. Weekly setup includes printable flashcards for the words you have selected. You can use them away from the screen for practice together.
