A Funny Dolch Words Book #2: Stories, Poems, Fables, Sight Word Searches [Paperback]

Betsy B. Lee (Author)

Book Description

Dolch sight words should be recognized instantly in order for reading to progress smoothly. This book uses all of the Dolch sight words for second graders and many for first graders.

The delightful stories and poems have these themes: bonding between parents and children; sharing; caring about others; learning not to be a bully; seeking goals in a peaceful manner; learning not to procrastinate; being considerate; being grateful; staying out of trouble; controlling temper; and helping others.

This book can be used for regular, remedial, or enrichment instruction because the ages of the children are not shown. Most stories only have animal characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Beginning Readers, February 24, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: A Funny Dolch Words Book #2: Stories, Poems, Fables, Sight Word Searches (Paperback)

This Dolch Word Book #2 includes charming stories, poems and word searches that are based on the Dolch Word List, the most commonly found words in the English language. Each word is presented numerous times after it is introduced, thus making it easier for beginning readers to learn and expand their sight vocabluary. Books like this one are a must for every beginning reader or child with a reading deficiency. In the Learning Disabilities Support web site there is a page on Choosing the Right Reading Approach that discusses the importance of the Dolch vocabulary list.

5.0 out of 5 stars very good, November 14, 2001

This review is from: A Funny Dolch Words Book #2: Stories, Poems, Fables, Sight Word Searches (Paperback)

This is such a helpful book. I like the idea of fables written in easy to read words. They teach lessons and entertain. The stories make us laugh while we understand the mistakes being made in the stories. We can learn to laugh at our mistakes and learn to do better. These three books teach reading and they teach values.
