Tips for using it
A few words at a time
Delete all but five to eight words from the list for each sheet. Children learn sight words faster in small groups they see again and again.
Read it out loud
Ask the child to say each word as they trace it. Saying, seeing and writing the word together helps it stick.
Mix in your reading series
If your class uses Fry words or words from a reading program, type them in place of the Dolch list.
