7- Sight Word Vocabulary
First Assessment – High Frequency Word Assessment
Source: Reading and Writing Project http://readingandwritingproject.org/resources/assessments/running-records
This test is available through the Reading and Writing Project website and it aims to evaluate students’ knowledge of the first 100 sight-words, with words that should be instantly recognized by students by the end of second grade, to support reading fluency. This exam can be used as a formative or summative assessment, taking no longer than 10 minutes to be administered.
No tools or equipment are needed, only a printed list of the words is required. The teacher will show a list of words to the student and ask them to identify the words he or she knows. The 100 words are broken into 4 tests, applied depending on a child’s success from the first test (A) to the last (D). It is generally recommended that list A be used with Kindergartners in the fall, lists B and C be used in first grade and list D used in second grade, all depending on the student’s level of proficiency.

Source: http://www.newlondon.k12.wi.us/Assessment/Dolch_220_Basic_Sight_Word_Test_-_revised.pdf
Flash cards available at: http://specialed.about.com/
This assessment created by New London School Distric in Winsconsin. It is based on the 220 Sight Words list created by E. Dolch. This assessment can be used both as a formative or summative evaluation. The 220 words are divided in five sections (pre-primer, primer, first grade, second grade and third grade words) of 40 to 51 words.
In this test, the tutor provides flash cards that show the words to be evaluated. The time allowed for each word to be pronounced is 10-15 seconds. The tutor will have all words listed on a table, and he/she will mark them as correct or incorrect depending on the student’s answer. This sight-word assessment is administered individually and it can be utilized in multiple assessment sessions to keep track of progress and to help determine if an intervention is required. The criteria for determining the skill level is based on the number of words recognized by the student. A student considered to be in a pre-primer level knows 0-75 words whereas a student considered to be in third grade level or above understands 210-220 words.
