Dolch Pre-Primer Sight Words List (40 Words)

About this worksheet

A read-aloud word chart for 4 and 5 year olds: the whole Dolch pre-primer sight words list in alphabetical order, 4 words to a row, each in its own red-tinted box with a small number in the corner. Every word is printed at the same size in the ball-and-stick letters children learn to write, so the page reads like a book, not a test. Words such as said, where, the and one are worth extra attention, because their spelling does not match the way they sound.

Tips for using it

• Read one row a day and color the box of each word read without help.
• Call a number and let your child find and read that word.
• Hang the chart next to the pre-primer assessment record and circle the words still marked -.
• Ask your child to find said and where as fast as possible.
