Here is a website that contains the key sight words for second graders (scroll down to second grade to print list or you can print the words on flash cards):

http://www.k111.k12.il.us/lafayette/fourblocks/word_wall_grade_level_lists.htm

I think it would be great to review and learn these words before second grade. Also, you can print the first grade words for review.
The word list is KEY from Kindergarten to second grade. These words must be established in the child's vocabulary to ENSURE reading fluency. You cannot be a fluent reader unless you learn the words~SIGHT WORDS are very important at this age~it is key that your child be able to read the sight words and know the meanings by the end of the second grade. Children must hear a word approximately 15 times to begin to use that word in their own vocabulary.

Reading fluency really starts to be apparent in the third and fourth grades~so use the word lists at this age so your child will be a better reader~

This is a scholarly journal documenting the IMPORTANCE of word lists for K-2 children~(not adults but children)

Try some of these books for ENJOYMENT. First, read the book to your child then let your child re-read the book to you. The suggested books are sure favorites of this age~

Answer 4

Forget word lists--they don't even work for adults.

Concentrate on reading itself, try the comic pages or comic books, like Peanuts or Dennis the Menace....she will recognize the characters & the stories are so short she won't get bored or
overwhelmed.

Answer 5

Words by themselves don't mean much.

How about letting her choose 2nd grade books from the children's library.
