This Dolch Work Book #3 includes fascinating stories, poems, fables, and word searches that are based on the Dolch Word List, the most commonly used words for beginning readers. Lesson plans and worksheets are offered on the Learning Abilities web site in conjunction with the book. This Dolch Book, which is the third in a series, is an excellent teaching tool for all children who are learning to read, but in particular, for learning disabled children. In her book Learning Disabilities: There is a Cure, educational expert, Addie Cusimano, devotes an entire chapter on the Right Reading Approach. In it she discusses the importance of using a beginning reader that is based on the Dolch sight list.

My granddaughter is a beginning reader. I found this book to be a wonderful way for her to learn new words gradually. Once a new word was introduced, it is used throughout the book in other stories. It reminded me of the old Sally, Dick and Jane books that I read in first grade. My granddaughter's favorite story was the one entitled "Under the Can." She squealed with delight when she discovered what was "under the can." The "word find" exercises in the book were fun for my granddaughter also. They were a good way for her to practice finding and reading the new words she had learned in the book.

I ordered this "book" as a gift. I was not prepared for what came. It was the quality of a church bulliten. I don't know about the content and usefullness of the "book" but was embarrassed to give it as a gift.
