The Dolch Sight Words list is the most commonly used set of sight words. Educator Dr. Edward William Dolch developed the list in the 1930s-40s by studying the most frequently occurring words in children’s books of that era. The list contains 220 “service words” plus 95 high-frequency nouns. These words comprise 80% of the words you would find in a typical children’s book and 50% of the words found in writing for adults. Once a child knows this list of words, it makes reading much easier, because the child can then focus his or her attention on the remaining words.

The Dolch words are commonly divided into groups by grade level, ranging from pre-kindergarten to third grade, with a separate list of nouns. There are a total of 315 Dolch Sight Words.

Dolch Word List

© Contributed by Leanne Guenther

From 50-75% of all words used in school books, library books, newspapers, and magazines are in the Dolch Basic Sight Vocabulary of 220 words (preschool thru Grade 3).   The Dolch word list is made up of "service words" (pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and verbs) which cannot be learned through the use of pictures.

In this section I've included a series of flashcards that can be printed and used to reinforce learning, the complete list of preschool words (see table) and some activity ideas for using the flashcards.

Ideas for Using the Flashcards:

The flashcards can simply be held up, giving the child the opportunity to read each one.   But if you're looking for a more engaging activity, try combining the Dolch flashcards with the noun picture flashcards for a variety of activities (I've listed some suggestions here from simplest to hardest)

  • ACTIVITY ONE:

       

    • have an adult arrange the flashcards to form a sentence. 
    • Read the sentence with/to the child
    • Remove one of the dolch words from the sentence and put it back in the pile (you may want to make the pile smaller in the beginning to make the activity easier). 
    • Give the pile to the child and have them find the correct card to place back in the sentence.
    • Re-read the sentence.
  • ACTIVITY TWO:

          

    • have an adult arrange the flashcards to form a sentence, leaving one card out.
    • read the incomplete sentence with/to the child.
    • present between 2 and 5 cards to the child (one of them should make the sentence complete)
    • have the child chose which is the correct card
    • re-read the sentence with the card chosen.   Talk about whether it makes sense or not.
  • ACTIVITY THREE:
    • provide the child with all or part of the pile of flashcards
    • allow them to create their own sentences using the cards
    • read the sentences with them and talk about what they've created.
    • OPTIONAL:  Have them glue their completed sentence to the bottom of a piece of construction paper and draw a picture of their sentence on the top.  (author/illustrator of their own story).

    Main Attraction Word List for 1st Grade and 2nd Grade

    nine0002 Description

    This free Dolch Word Sight List First Grade and Grade 2 is a really useful booklet to improve and even increase your English word list lookup through audio sound. It is specially designed for first graders and 2nd graders. First of all, lets explain what the word vision is. Sight words are commonly used words that young children are encouraged to remember in their entirety by sight, so that they can automatically recognize those words in print without the need for any decoding strategies. That's why this Dolch Vision Word List first class and second class app is very useful. Also, an advantage for children being able to recognize the sight of words automatically is that the beginning reader will be able to identify most of the words in the beginning text before they even attempt to read it; In a way that allows the child to focus on comprehension and comprehension as they read non-stop and decode each word. It is extremely important and the best start is to recognize as many vocabularies as possible in order to develop and succeed in language learning. How we, KiddyPop, create this special app for our own children and would like to share with parents who are similarly looking to raise a bilingual or perhaps tri-lingual child. In other words, it is truly continuous development. If you notice any problems or maybe bugs, please let us know by email: [email protected]~~HEAD=pobj. We will fix all of them with free updates.
