What students practice

The Dolch nouns are the everyday naming words early readers meet alongside the service words. Unlike the sight-word lists, many of these can be sounded out, so they are a good place to let a reader try decoding before being told.

What’s included

  • 93 cards, 6 per page, ready to cut apart
  • Each card: the word large, plus an example sentence
  • Two holiday-specific nouns from the classic list are not included
  • A directions page, a checkable Word List, and color & B&W versions
