Why use Dolch Sight Words?
Making reading easier and more enjoyable for children from a young age is a wonderful thing – and with this one method you can make a marked difference very simply.
The Dolch Sight Words are without a doubt the most common set of sight words used today, and a child having learned to recognize these will make reading a book much easier for them. As they progress and get older you can introduce the more complex word lists, until the child reaches familiarity with all 220 of these most common words used.
Our Dolch Sight Words learning tool allows you to easily display your selected Dolch word list to a child for a chosen number of seconds.
