Are your Sight Words going to match my child's teachers list?

Our Sight and High Frequency Words are based on several well documented sight word lists all used in classrooms across Australia, each school classroom teacher uses these lists based on their personal preference and/or school curriculum (magic 100, fry’s, Dolch etc) and particular classroom and student requirements, we do not claim to meet your teachers class lists word for word, we simply do not have the capacity to preempt the combination of sight words your teacher will be using. Rather our Sight and High frequency word sets will contain most of these words, and in some cases some additional ones. Each of our lists contain 8 blank discs to write any additional words you may need.Our Sight Words are intended to be used as an aid in the early learning of our little ones, our intention is for them to be used in a fun and meaningful way.
