How to Use This Pack

Fifty-two pages, one for each Dolch primer word from all to yes, the list that follows the pre-primer words. A banner at the top shows the word. Six boxes follow: trace it from its start dots, color it in bubble letters, write it on handwriting lines, circle it each time it is in a grid of words that look like it, spell it a letter to a box and read it in a sentence with a picture. Every sentence is made of pre-primer and primer words and words a child can sound out, such as fish and frog. The answer keys circle the word and spell it.

In the Classroom

Put the page on the board as the word of the day: read the word together, spell it aloud and use it in a sentence. Words that look alike, such as was and saw or there and three, are worth a minute side by side. Keep the words on a word wall as you go, and read the sentences from earlier days to warm up.

At Home

Read the word together, then hunt for it in a picture book. Make two cards of each word you have done and play a matching game, reading each card you turn over.

Tips for Success

  • Say the word, spell it, say it again
  • Start each letter at the dot with the 1 in it
  • Point under each word as you read
  • Look closely: was is not saw
  • Read the sentence, then circle the word
