DOLCH SIGHT WORDS
The Dolch sight words list is a list of the 250 most used words in the English language for the beginning reader. This list includes sight words and non-phonetic words.
I consider sight words as those words readers quickly memorize because they are so familiar; words like a, sleep, like and play to name just a few. There are about 200 of these words. Once the student knows decoding skills and certain phonetic rules, these 200 words are easy to read and spell.
However, students that have a learning disability will have a hard time learning the non-phonetic sight words like are, to, the and put. There are about 50 of these types of words. Non-phonetic words don’t follow phonetic rules and are therefore very confusing for the struggling reader.
 |
LD students should be taught how to read using the Orton-Gillingham method OR at the very least a program that uses phonics. Words on the Dolch Word List can be hard for a struggling reader to read IF he doesn’t have decoding skills. |
Some students learn better if they have a visual cue for the word. Here is an example from iseeispellilearn.com
This red rose is for you.
MY LIST
|
I have developed a list of the Dolch Sight Words based on the Scope and Sequence of teaching reading using the Orton-Gillingham method and the decodable books from The Recipe to Reading Manual. |
 |
The list is divided into 2 parts. One is for beginning readers (pre-K to end of 1st grade) and the other is for intermediate readers (2-3rd grade).
