| | Dolch Word Lists - The Dolch words are commonly referred to as 'sight words'
because they cannot often be represented by illustrations or sounded out
phonetically. Instead, they need to be recognized 'on sight'. A child knowing
all the Dolch words will be able to recognize the majority of words in
children's literature, and experts therefore recommend that native English
speakers learn these words by the end of the first grade in school.
It should be noted that although the Dolch word lists are divided into five
levels (pre-primer to grade 3), words in the second and third grade lists do
appear in books for younger children, just with less frequency. Therefore,
all the words should be recognizable by the end of grade one.
