There are no words for Pre-K or Kindergarten instead, it starts in first grade. He also included advanced terms that children up to 10th grade should know. Edward Fry updated the list in the 1950s to include words from children’s books and added another 700 words to have 1,000 words based on Dr. The words are divided by grade level (Pre-K to 3rd grade), with a separate noun list, and there are around 300 words. Edward William Dolch was an educator in the 1930s, and 40s who studied children’s books’ most common words to create a list of words children should recognize by sight. If they immediately recognize the words on a particular grade level list, they move up until they find difficulty recognizing the words. Children are tested on how quickly they recognize sight words. When children can recognize at least 90% of these words, they can put their focus on words they don’t identify as quickly. So what is the solution? When teaching sight words, teachers often use sight word lists developed by educators either in the 1930s or the 1950s, depending on the list used, and were designed to help children recognize words in 80-90% of books or magazines. But picture cards stop working when there are no pictures to go with the words, such as those listed above. Some Autistic children learn better with pictures, though not all, so picture cards can work to a point to teach sight words. When teaching children to read, teachers use picture cards with the picture’s name on the card’s back. Imagine if those words were missing in this article and how difficult it would be to read. Some words don’t have a picture associated with them, such as ‘the,’ ‘and,’ ‘are,’ and ‘an.’ But these words are essential to the story’s flow or article.
