Award-Winning 2nd Grade Sight Words Flash Cards – 100+ Dolch & Fry Words – Build Reading Fluency – Ages 6-9

These 2nd grade sight words flash cards from Think Tank Scholar include over 100 high-frequency words drawn from the Dolch and Fry lists. Designed for children ages 6–9 (grades 1–3), they help build vocabulary and reading fluency. The jumbo cards (3.2 x 5.3 inches) feature large bold lettering and a coated finish for durability, with answers printed on the back so no flipping is needed.

What makes these sight word cards different?

Unlike many flash cards, these do not include pictures. Research suggests that children learn sight words more effectively without image cues, especially for abstract words like "was" or "because." Each card has one angled corner and three rounded edges, making them easy to sort and handle. The cards are coated for protection against spills, though they are not fully waterproof.
