Sight Words (Dolch and Fry Lists) and Sight Word Phrases

***Parents and Teachers! Check out: for some great FREE sight word games, flashcards, and more!*** Dolch Word List

The Dolch List contains words that must be quickly recognized in order to have reading fluency. If the child is spending too much time

decoding, or figuring out words, then comprehension cannot occur. The Dolch Words are the most frequently used words in the English

language, making up 50 to 70 percent of any text! Many of the Dolch words cannot be "sounded out" and must be learned by "sight," or

memorized. PLEASE buy a blank set of index cards and drill sections of the word lists each evening. Repetition and practice are very

important to make these words automatic. Again, once these basic sight words have been mastered, children will read more fluently, and

this will have a positive impact on comprehension. ***Check out this great free sight to download sight word

An IDEA: When my son was in preschool and in kindergarten, we bought a notebook, and took 5 words daily from the Dolch and Fry lists (Fry lists below), and wrote 5 sentences each day together! This helped GREATLY with his reading, creative writing, spelling, and his fine motor skills! The notebook full of sentences will always be treasured, and he continues to be a top reader and writer today as a 7th grade

student!

*****TEACH YOUR CHILD TO SPELL THE WORDS!*****

Dolch Phrases

The following links are Dolch Phrase cards, with 12 phrases on each card. Start in order, teaching 5 phrases per day. Choral read them first with your child, then have your child practice rereading them throughout the day, as well as previously learned phrases, to build fluency. When repeated

reading of text or phrases is practiced regularly, students' word recognition, fluency, and comprehension improve significantly.

Fry Word Lists

In 1996, Dr. Fry expanded on the Dolch Sight Word Lists and came up with the "Fry 1000 Instant Words." Dr. Fry found that the first 300

words are found in 65% of everything written! So, here are links to 1000 of the most used words in reading and writing! The list is divided into ten levels and then divided into groups of twenty-five words, based

on frequency of use and difficulty. Please be sure that your child is working towards recognizing these words automatically.
