Welcome to Episode 12 of the Learn American English with Maestro Sersea Podcast. Our 12th podcast episode focuses on improving American English vocabulary and reading skills. Today, we will share Dolch Sight Words Pre-Kindergarten Part 4 of 4 Lesson. The Dolch Sight Words list is a compilation of 220 words, divided into five levels, considered the most frequently used English words, and includes pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, first-grade, second-grade, and third-grade words. Each of the five sub-lists includes 40 to 75 words. Edward William Dolch compiled these words in the 1930s and 1940s, and are often used to teach students how to read. The words are categorized by grade level, starting at pre-primer and progressing through grade three. The words are divided into two categories: service words, which include pronouns, conjunctions, and articles, and content words, which include nouns, verbs, and adjectives. The Dolch Sight Words are often used to assess a student’s reading ability and help teach students to become more fluent readers. These words account for 50 to 75 percent of all words used in reading and writing. Today’s lesson is compliments of our American English Vocabulary website at www.americanenglishvocabulary.com.
