Dolch Word Practice
http://www.brentwood.k12.ca.us/brentwood/Links/DolchProject/index.html
The Dolch Word Lists comprise 220 words frequently found in written texts. The words on the lists tend to defy "sounding-out" strategies, yet quick recognition greatly enhances reading ability. There are innumerable suggestions on the web for practice of these words. This website features student drawings and recordings illustrating individual words. This type of activity may be memorable and engaging for your students.
