This year, students will learn their Dolch sight words. The Dolch-Sight Word List is a list compiled by E.W. Dolch in 1936. The list contains 220 commonly used words that should be recognized by "sight" for fast or "fluent" reading. The compilation excludes nouns, which comprise a separate 95-word list.
Many of the 220 Dolch words do not follow the basic phonics princples, so they cannot be "sounded out." They should be learned by sight. Dolch words are now often referred to simply as "sight words."
Although the list is traditionally divided into grades, most school systems say that the Dolch words should be mastered by the end of 1st Grade.
The first attachment below is a list of all 220 sight words. You will also find printable flashcards for each of the dolch word lists. Practice with your child often. These words should all be mastered before entering second grade.
