The Dolch List contains words that must be quickly recognized in order to have reading fluency. If the child is spending too much time decoding, or figuring out words, then comprehension cannot occur. The Dolch Words are the most frequently used words in the English language, making up 50 to 70 percent of any text! Many of the Dolch words cannot be “sounded out” and must be learned by “sight,” or memorized. PLEASE buy a blank set of index cards and drill sections of the word lists each evening. Repetition and practice are very important to make these words automatic. Again, once these basic sight words have been mastered, children will read more fluently, and this will have a positive impact on comprehension. | | | | All of the best K-5 online, interactive, educational games and simulations in one place!
