• The Dolch list was published in 1936 and still covers about half of the words in children's books.
• Many sight words, like "said" and "have", don't follow the usual phonics rules, so kids learn them by sight.

Fun ways to use your printables

• Write each found word on a sticky note and hide the notes around the house.
