Dolch Words
In 1936 Edward William Dolch, PhD, created a list of words for use in the classroom. While some of these words have become outdated, the majority of them are still in use today. There are 220 "service" words and a seperate list of 95 nouns. These are great words for both children and adults learning ESL to use for spelling and conversation. These words are sometimes also known as "sight words". Lets take a look at a few of the nouns shall we?
