| Dolch-Sight Words |
|
The Dolch-Sight Word List is a list compiled by E.W. Dolch in 1936. The list contains 220 commonly used words that should be recognized by "sight" for fast or "fluent" reading. The compilation excludes nouns, which comprise a separate 95-word list. Many of the 220 Dolch words do not follow the basic phonics princples, so they cannot be "sounded out." They should be learned by sight. Dolch words are now often referred to simply as "sight words." Although the list is traditionally divided into grades, most school systems say that the Dolch words should be mastered by the end of 1st Grade. It has been rumored that Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel) was challenged to write and illustrate a children's primer using only the 220 Dolch words. The result was 'The Cat in the Hat'.
