Dick and Jane's Primer Word List, Revised Edition

Dolch Sight Word Lists by Grade Level

Dolch sight words are a set of 220 words identified by Dr. Dolch, a researcher of English pedagogy, in a seminal article in the 1950s. They are the foundation of teaching reading and writing English -- over half the words you read in a typical English document appear on this list. We provide these lists as a service to educators everywhere. If you'd like to get started working with them right now, why don't you sign up for our free trial and start making bingo cards?
