Sight Words in English and Chinese

A list of English sight words, The Dolch Word List, was compiled by Edward William Dolch, PhD, in 1948. The Dolch Word List is also called Sight Words or The Dolch 220. It includes the most frequently used words in the English language. Sight words make up 50 to 70 percent of any general text. Therefore, teaching The Dolch Word List is a crucial goal of education in grades kindergarten through 3.

Many of the 220 Dolch words cannot be "sounded out" and have to be learned by "sight," that is memorized. The list is divided into grade levels. It includes pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and verbs. The basic list excludes nouns, which make up a separate 95 word list.

Including pictures, a wonderful story of only 676 words covering all 220 sight words, free video and audio websites of sight words, this book is of interest, short, complete and convenient for kids age from 3 to 8 to learn sight words and start their English learning.
