Dolch Words

Dolch words are lists of sight words that are common in your child's reading.  As reading proficiency increases so do the amounts of words your child will memorize.  Please follow the guideline below for mastering these lists of words.  Playing lots of memory games with these words should prove helpful in memorizing them.  Should you have any stress or difficulty with your child while working with these words please contact me immediately!


By the end of each quarter a new list should be mastered.  Mastery is knowing the word in a snap...
...not hesitating to sound it out.

Your child will have a "Dolch Word" folder that they should keep with them in their backpacks.  On occasion I will ask for these folders and I will highlight the words that your child knows in a snap.  PLEASE do not mark in this folder as it will be a record for your child and their progress throughout the year.
