Ali: Another reviewer here wrote that these were the best flashcards they had bought and they were right. I have zero complaints and find these flashcards to be a pleasure to use.

Ess Em: Awesome! Nice big cards I use for tutoring online, so they're easy to see. I love how these have an example of the back in a sentence, rather than be double sided. There is a mix of Dolce and Fry sight words but I am very happy with the words included.

ERIC, WIERIC, WI: You'll learn from the school of hard knocks that when it comes to sight words there is no universal yardstick that standardizes what maybe considered a one set collective of sight word. I use broad strokes to say this because when you get down to the minutia of individual words then you may see some commonality.
Thus you will see that sight words from one school to another will have some differences. And this applies same for those making/selling the flash cards.
I recently purchased the Star Right Education (SRE) Flash cards for sight words to make up for the deficit I found in the Carson Dellosa equivalent. When I say deficit, I'm referencing the 44 sight words that form my child's Kindergarten curriculum for the year (see photos).
Before I get to that, let me talk about the Carson Dellosa Flash Cards.
APPEARANCE:
Nicely made cards. No Fluff. Words are easy to see and read. At the back is a simple one line sentence for the child to try -- using the word he/she tried to pronounce.
WORD COUNT: 102 Sight words. This is huge and in theory should cover what you are looking for at the 6+ year old level.
DURABILITY: If handled well, it...

Ash: I find the cards decent. I was expecting thicker cards and a little better quality but I’m happy with them. They do have a glossy finish for more durability. My son used them from age 4-6. Although, as a teacher, I know kids should know all these words by the beginning of grade 1 to ensure they are ready to read. We posted them on our fridge as a word wall with a few at a time. That way at breakfast and dinner it’s a quick easy review that’s fun vs sitting through a bunch of flash cards doing it the old fashion way. Although, after time went on we did use them the traditional way and he got rewards from knowing 50, then 75, then 100. My son loved having them on the fridge and doing it the way we did. I feel he learned them quicker this way. I think I will start these with my 3.5 year old soon so he is further along earlier and can begin reading sooner. The cards are definitely suited for pre-kindergarten to beginning of grade 1. I’d definitely recommend them!

Shari: I've ordered three or four different sets of sight word flash cards and have been disappointed with all of them. Either the cards themselves were flimsy or too thick, or they were unsuitable for review because each card had two different words on them.
This set got it perfect! The cards are not too thick, but they aren't flimsy either. There is one sight word per card. On the back of each card is a sentence that puts the sight word into context. This is a great way to practice sight word recognition AND develop contextual reading skills.
If I were going to complain at all, it would be to say that the suggested age range of 6 years old and up is not even close to appropriate. My daughter needed to know most of these sight words *before* kindergarten started. She began studying them when she was 4. Now she's learned them all and my son is starting them this term - he is 3. So I would say this is a good beginner's set, not suitable for older than 4, or 5 at the latest.
