Book Download: Essential Sight Words Level I

The scheme is based on the Dolch word list* and additional sight words which are regarded as the top 25 most commonly used words in contemporary English literature. These 25 words make up over one-third of all printed material. So a solid foundation in this comprehensive list is the best start to your child’s journey in language development.

Research shows that learning to read in context is more effective than any other method such as the use of flash cards. You will notice that the readers are written in contexts familiar to children. The ability to relate in this way captures the little reader’s interest.

Confidence is the essence of successful learning. So repetition is used judiciously to consolidate learning and build the reader’s confidence.
New words are highlighted as they are introduced. The book also includes a section on how the scheme is best used to make the most of your child’s reading experience.
