What Are Dolch Vocabulary Words? Part 2

Greetings,

We hope you are doing well.  We are excited to share with you more of our newest Dolch Vocabulary videos for First Grade and Second Grade.  If you do not know what the Dolch Vocabulary words are, these are the most common words that your child needs to know for reading.

Edward William Dolch, PhD. researched and compiled the list many years ago.  Many of these words need to be learned by sight and are easily recognized in books.  Students will see many of the words in the books they read.  Listed below are the recommended First Grade and Second Grade Vocabulary Sight Words.









We hope you enjoy these free video tutorials.  We will see you next week with another exciting topic.  Take care.
