Sight Words: Fact vs. Fiction

Easiest, best way to learn Dolch Sight Words, history of Dolch sight words, brain research about reading, improving reading abilities and reading grade level, improving spelling, teaching with syllables. By a volunteer literacy tutor teaching since 1994, website www.thephonicspage.org.

Correction: I list the Dolch Word List as first being published in Edward Dolch's 1948 book "Problems in Reading." A search of Google Books revealed that the 220 word list was in use as early as 1932, when it was mentioned in the magazine "Instructor."

A thought provoking video that will correct a lot of misconceptions about the history and nature of sight-words. For more fascinating, hard-to-come-by information on sight-words, visit Mrs. Brown's web site.

Very sincere. Very smart. Every reading teacher ought to see this.

The real question is why so many bad ideas were introduced into the field of reading. Apparently we have educators who don't want children to read at a high level. Ponder that.
