About this generator
How is this different from the primer list?
It is the next Dolch level. Words are longer and include more irregular spellings.
Should these be spelled or just read?
Both. Reading by sight comes first; spelling the irregular ones takes longer.
Can I print this worksheet on A4 paper?
Yes. Switch Paper to A4 in the settings panel. The layout recalculates the page height and keeps 0.5-inch margins, so nothing is cut off.
Is an answer key included?
The generator always produces an answer key and worked solutions. They are part of the pass; the student sheet can be previewed and printed for free.
