Sight words
220 high-frequency words, ready to trace.
The Dolch list is nearly a century old and still in daily use. These sheets turn each level into tracing, copying and review practice — without a workbook purchase.

- Read it, do not spell it. Sight words are recognized as whole units; sounding out “the” defeats the purpose.
- Five to eight words at a time. A full 52-word list on one page is a copying task, not a reading task.
- Trace, then write from memory. The blank line next to each word is the real assessment.
- Revisit in context. Use the sentence-writing generator once the words are automatic.
