Many schools focus on memorizing sight words, but I personally think there are many parts of learning to read, and sight words are only one of them. Some children don't need as much work on sight words as others, so each child is an individual in their learning.
I recommend this book as it gives lists, but the grades and ages children should learn these words is negotiable depending on what philosophy and school your child attends.
Some philosophies believe in learning sight words early, and others believe in waiting, I think it depends on the child.
