Sight Words
Below are additional lists of general sight words that teachers have suggested over the years. If it makes sense for your student, these words can be easily added to the bank of words already provided in the Curriculum by typing them on 3x5 cards or on labels that can be placed on cards or by printing the ready-made “***Card Size” files on 3x5 cards. Use the Microsoft Word® files if you want to change or add words.
(Level 3) Bus/Subway Schedule Words
Some of these words are generic such as Ave., St., and Pl., but some are specific to a location where your students catch or get off the bus or subway. Be sure to change the words to make them appropriate for your specific students’ needs.

(Level 3) Driver's Education Words
While most students in the Styer-Fitzgerald Functional Academics program will not get their driver’s licenses, we know of students who are not fluent readers but who have been able to obtain their licenses. We have included a list of driver education sight words for these students and for students with learning disabilities who struggle with reading but who are able to drive.

(Level 2) Sight Words Data Sheet
We receive many requests for a sight word sheet that allows teachers/paras to list the actual words that the student is working on. In the Secondary Level Curriculum, Functional Reading B simply lists the category of words the student is working on, for example, Grocery, Community, and Banking. In the Elementary Level Curriculum, Functional Reading C and D simply state the list that they are working on, for example, 1—Core Words.
Some of you want to list the specific words on lines next to the trial number (as in the example below):
