The Dolch Sight Words are the 220 most frequently used words.
Students who learn these words have a good base for beginning reading.
Many of these sight words cannot be sounded out because they do not follow decoding
rules; therefore, these words must be learned as sight (memory) words. The dolch list is divided into grade levels. It includes pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and verbs. The basic list excludes nouns, which make up a separate 95 word list.
