220 Names/Faces 220 Dolch Words Are Too Many for Students with Memories Like Mine. AVKO "Great Idea" Reprint Series No. 601.
McCabe, Don
This booklet discusses a procedure to assist students experiencing difficulty in learning the "Dolch Basic Sight Vocabulary of 220 Words" and rearranges a list of 220 words to make it easier for students to learn. The procedure discussed in the booklet is based on the "word family" approach, in which words like "all call, fall, and small" are taught as part of the "-all" family of words. Using this approach, the booklet lists 170 Dolch sight words (arranged by vowel sound) that can be taught using the word family approach. The booklet also includes a list of the 50 Dolch words that can be taught using sight methods, as well as advice on daily, short drills to learn the words. (RS)
