The Big Book of Sight Words: 1st Grade

Because children love to use technology, this version was created to be viewed on a Kindle or any Smartphone with a Kindle application. Just one more tool in the parentâ€™s toolbox to help their children master reading!

This third part of The Big Book of Sight Words series contains 41 Sight Words on the Dolch List for 1st Grade children. The Dolch List is named after Dr. Edward Dolch who in 1948 compiled the 220 most common â€œservice wordsâ€ found in childrenâ€™s reading books at the time. These are words that cannot be phonetically sounded out and should be memorized.

The 41 words in this edition (Vocabulary Words for 1st Grade) make up 50 to 70 percent of the text in books preschools are reading. It is recommended that most students learn to recognize all 220 Dolch Words and the 95 nouns by the end of First Grade.

Fluency in reading the 220 Dolch Words and the 95 nouns is essential to literacy. Teachers and parents use a variety of techniques to teach them. Repetition and practice are key to making recognition of Sight Words automatic. Once this core of basic sight words has been memorized, children read more fluently, with greater comprehension.
