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.
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.
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.
The 20 Day Intervention Is Fast, Rigorous, Enriching, and Fun.
