The Dolch list is a reading list containing 220 of the most frequently used words. These are the words that would benefit your child to eventually memorize so that they will know them on sight. Some of these words are “jail words”…words that do not follow the rules of phonics. Therefore, they cannot be sounded out.
              The list goes up to third grade. It is strongly suggested that you put the preprimer and primer words on index cards for your child and practice a few every night. Please be aware that if you print this out and have them practice these words from a list instead of putting them on index cards, your child may memorize the words based solely on remembering which word follows the next instead of knowing it in isolation. It would be helpful to learn these words before first grade as it prepares them for reading with greater ease.
             Over time, you might want to advance to other lists. Learning these words will increase your child’s self-confidence and enhance the flow of their reading.
