I have been crazy busy creating and formatting more worksheets for our preschool students to use to expand their knowledge. This week I have been working on sight words.
In 1948 a list of the most frequently used words in the English language was compiled by Edward William Dolch, PhD. He compiled the list based on words used in children's reading books in the 1930s and 40s. The list contains 220 words that must be quickly recognized in order to achieve reading fluency.
The Dolch Word List, also called Sight Words or The Dolch 220, includes pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and verbs. Sight words make up 50 to 70 percent of any general text and many can't be sounded out but must be learned by "sight" (aka memorized). Therefore, teaching The Dolch Word List is a crucial goal of education in grades kindergarten through 3. The list is divided into grade levels.
I am very proud to say that our little 3 and 4 year olds know 16 sight words in English and 6 in Spanish!! I am so very proud of them!! Pretty soon they will be reading!! YAY!!
Today's FREE Printable is an example of the Hidden Sight Word sheets that I have been working on. Head on over to my new Teachers Pay Teacher Store to grab this printable for FREE. I hope you enjoy!
