Dolch word list
The Dolch Word List is a list of frequently used words compiled by Edward William Dolch, PhD. The list was prepared in 1936. The list was originally published in his book Problems in Reading in 1948. Under the copyright laws in effect during the time of publication, the Dolch word list is out of copyright.
Dolch compiled the list based on children's books of his era. The list contains 220 "service words" that have to be easily recognized in order to achieve reading fluency in English. The compilation excludes nouns, which comprise a separate 95-word list.
Many of the 220 Dolch words can’t be “sounded out” using common sound-to-letter implicit phonics patterns and have to be learned by sight; hence the alternative term, “sight word." Although the list is divided into grades, for native English speakers, all the words in the Dolch should be mastered by the end of 1st grade

Reading comprehension is the desired outcome of all
reading programs. Years of methodical process and
intention may leave you seeking new processes to
improve student results.
Reading Boot Camp is used during the first 20 days of school to learn the
basics of English literacy. We spend 120 hours reading, singing, articulating,
writing, and focusing on building the foundations in word and phrase knowledge.
The Program is fast, rigorous, challenging, and fun.

The Program is fast, rigorous, challenging, and fun.
Reading Program Overview
Reading Boot Camp is a free open source language arts intervention
program designed to turn around an entire school in just 20 days!
Teaching every child in your school to read, write and speak English
in twenty days is not only radical but saves thousands in program cost.
Turning the reading establishment on its head and saving a lost
generation is a radical idea. Spending education budgets on great
literature for students, instead of reading software, basal readers,
reading intervention programs, and teacher in-service training is a
radical idea. Insuring that all students have a real future is just a pipe
dream if we stay on this path of chasing reading rainbows. Teaching
ten years in high-poverty schools, with over 85% of the students at
risk, 40-70% of students that are second language learners has
taught me we have lost our way and the establishment is broken.
We buy into every program that comes down the pike promising
success, yet here we are failing our most needy students. Putting
great literature, poetry, and books in children’s hands is the
foundation of Reading Boot Camp, not predigested workbooks,
endless teacher-made photo copies, and needless busy work.
Reading Boot Camp is back to basics with a sledge hammer
to the outsider. Students find it rewarding and fantastic!
Reading Boot Camp Purpose
Purposes 1) Launch students into the rigorous and intensive
language art program that is taught throughout the year:
2) Accelerate the closure of the academic achievement
gap in lowest quartile students; and 3) Teach the students
school etiquette, classroom manners, discipline, responsibility
and a foundations in classic children’s literature...

Reading Program Effectiveness: 20 Days!
Eight students are now at grade level! 85% of students made more that one
year growth in reading. The mean for students not participating in Reading
Boot Camp is 194.3 RIT for 4th grade, students participating in Reading
Boot Camp the mean is 205.4.

Learning To Read English!
“The great object to be accomplished in reading as a rhetorical exercise is, to convey to the hearer, fully and clearly, the ideas and feelings of the writer.” McGuffey, William
Learning to read is a need that must be met with with great enthusiasm by both teacher and student. The process is easy for most and utterly difficult for a few.
The Five Domains of Reading
1. Vocabulary:
The four types of vocabulary.
auditory,
spoken,
reading,
writing
2. Phonemic Awareness: is a subset of phonological awareness in which listeners are able to hear, identify and manipulate phonemes, the smallest units of sound that can differentiate meaning. Separating the spoken word "cat" into three distinct phonemes, /k/, /æ/, and /t/, requires phonemic awareness.
3. Phonics : refers to a method for teaching speakers of English to read and write that language. Phonics involves teaching how to connect the sounds of spoken English with letters or groups of letters (e.g., that the sound /k/ can be represented by c, k, ck, ch, or q spellings) and teaching them to blend the sounds of letters together to produce approximate pronunciations of unknown words.
4. Fluency: is the ability to read text accurately and quickly. Fluency bridges word decoding and comprehension. Comprehension is understanding what has been read. Fluency is a set of skills that allows readers to rapidly decode text while maintaining a high level of comprehension (National Reading Panel, 2001).
5. Reading Comprehension: is defined as the level of understanding of a writing
44 Phonemes are the foundation of all beginning reading programs.
The English Alphabet Code 'Key':
44 phonemes with their common 'sound pattern' representations:Vowels (19):
- |a| mat

- |z| zip, fizz, sneeze, is, cheese
- |zh| treasure
Mastering the Dolch Sight words are a key component in the learning process.
Sight words do not always follow phonemic rules and must be mastered by sight.
Sight Words: are any word that is known by a reader automatically. Sight words are the basis behind the whole-word approach to reading education. Some have suggested that sight words and the whole-word approach to reading are a significant teaching technique considering 65% of the population identify themselves as visual learners. However, the majority of recent educational research suggests that phonetic based learning strategies are more effective for languages written with alphabets, such as English. Small children are also predominantly visual learners and can therefore learn to read more effectively using sight words and the whole-word approach, if their language has an ideographic or syllabic writing system, such as Japanese or Chinese. Scientific studies have also shown that children with learning difficulties such as Dyslexia, Autism or Down syndrome are also visual learners, and therefore also read words as pictures[citation needed]. In learning to read via the sight words, readers begin to understand that a word represents a 'thing'. wiki article

Learning Vocabulary
- Indirectly. Children learn the meanings of most words indirectly, through everyday experiences with oral and written language--e.g., through conversations with adults, through being read to, and through reading extensively on their own.
- Directly. Children learn vocabulary directly when they are explicitly taught both individual words and word-learning strategies.
- Vocabulary refers to the words we must know to communicate effectively in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Vocabulary plays an important part in learning to read. Children use words in their oral vocabulary to make sense of the words they see in print.
- Vocabulary is also important in reading comprehension. Readers cannot understand what they are reading unless they know what most of the words mean.
- Find great literature and dive in.
