Congratulations on your purchase of the Really Good Stuff®
Make-A-Word Center™: 1st Grade Dolch Words, a hands-on
activity that offers explicit, systematic practice for
primary students to master high-frequency words.
Objective
Using a predictable structure, students recognize,
read, build, and write common high-frequency words.
Meeting Common Core State Standards
This Really Good Stuff® Make-A-Word Center™:
1st Grade Dolch Words is aligned with the
following Common Core State Standard for
English Language Arts:
Phonics and Word Recognition
R.F. K.3c Read common high-frequency words
by sight.
This Really Good Stuff® product includes:
• 4 Dolch Word Center Work Mats
• 41 Dolch Word Cards
• 91 Lowercase Foam Letters
• Compartmentalized Box with Lid
• Set of 21 Stickers
• This Really Good Stuff® Teaching Guide
This multisensory sight word kit includes
Dolch words students encounter in early reading
material. Early readers are already familiar with
high-frequency words as part of their listening and
speaking vocabularies, but reading and spelling
those words often causes confusion. By focusing
on and manipulating one word at a time, students
internalize its appearance and recognize it in other
contexts, building reading confidence and fluency.
The 220 Dolch words make up 50-75 percent of the
reading material children encounter. The Make-A-Word
Center™: 1st Grade Dolch Words features 41 Dolch words
early readers must learn. Because most of these words
cannot be learned through the use of pictures, practicing
them in isolation in a variety of ways helps students
narrow their focus and recognize the words with
automaticity. Students see the word, say it, build it
using individual Foam Letters, and then write it.
This repeated, predictable, systematic exposure
to these early high-frequency words benefits all readers,
including those learning English as a second language or
struggling with word recognition. Use Make-A-Word
Center™: 1st Grade Dolch Words with individual students
and small groups as a direct instruction tool or in a
literacy center.

Introducing Make-A-Word Center™: 1st Grade
Dolch Words
Model the Activity
First, set aside words that the students cannot read
with automaticity. Make a copy of the Teacher Record
Sheet, one for each student. Highlight the words for
practice. Also make a copy of the Student Record Sheet
for each child to self-monitor progress. Begin by
selecting a Word Card and placing it in the first column
under Read It on the Work Mat. Read the word aloud with
students. Have students name the letters in the word
and then demonstrate how to gather the Foam Letters
needed to build that word. Build the word in the second
column, Build It. Model how to write the word in the third
column, Write It, using a dry erase marker and saying
each letter as you form it. Be sure to read it in its
entirety after spelling it aloud and writing it. Point to and
read each of the three versions of the word, carefully
tracking. Determine your criteria for students to check
off words in the student box on their sheet, either
reading them with automaticity or spelling them without
seeing them. Show students how to place all materials
back into the appropriate compartments. Wipe off the
Work Mat with a soft cloth, completely erasing the word.
Keep track of your students’ progress by checking off the
mastered words in the teacher box on the word list.
Tips for the At-Risk Student or English
Language Learner
• Practice only a few Dolch words a week.
• Post the Dolch words in the classroom and review daily.
• Provide lots of exposure to Dolch words. Include them
in class writing and spelling lists.
• Have students spell words aloud in a rhythmic pattern
or “write” them in the air.
• Have students rainbow write the word (write the entire
word, saying each letter as it is formed), in one color
with crayon and paper, then repeat one or more times,
right over the originally written word, in more colors.
All teaching guides can be found online.
