Make-A-Word Center™: Pre-Primer Dolch Words
Congratulations on your purchase of the Really Good Stuff®
Make-A-Word Center™: Pre-Primer Dolch Words, a handson 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.
Common Core State Standard
Read common high-frequency words by sight.
This Really Good Stuff® product includes:
• 4 Dolch Word Center Mats
• 40 Pre-Primer Dolch Word Cards
• 89 lowercase Foam Letters
• Compartmentalized Box with Lid
• Set of 21 Stickers
• This Really Good Stuff® Teaching Guide
This multisensory sight word kit includes the Pre-Primer
Dolch words students encounter in early reading
material. Early readers are already familiar with highfrequency 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™: Pre-Primer Dolch Words features 40 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™: Pre-Primer Dolch Words with individual students
and small groups as a direct instruction tool or in a
literacy center.
Managing Make-A-Word Center™:
Pre-Primer Dolch Words
• Should you need this or any other Really Good Stuff®
Teaching Guides, download them from our Web site at
www.reallygoodstuff.com.
• Label the box compartments with the Stickers.
• Store the Pre-Primer Dolch Word Cards, the Foam
Letters, and the Dolch Word Center Mats in the
provided Compartmentalized Box. Place dry erase
markers or dry erase crayons (not included) in the
box also.
• Make a copy of the included Pre-Primer Dolch Word
Progress Monitoring Reproducible for data collection
as a progress monitoring tool and as a guide for
students’ targeted practice.
• Make copies of the Student Recording Sheet
Reproducible for students to self-monitor reading
and spelling the words.
Introducing Make-A-Word Center™:
Pre-Primer Dolch Words
Model the Activity
First, set aside words that the students cannot read
with automaticity. Make a copy of the Pre-Primer Dolch
Word Progress Monitoring Reproducible, one for each
student. Highlight the words for practice. Also make a
copy of the Student Recording Sheet Reproducible for
each child to self-monitor progress. Begin by selecting a
Pre-Primer Dolch 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 record
words on their sheet, either reading it with automaticity
or spelling it without seeing it. 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. Check off the
words from the Pre-Primer Dolch Word Progress
Monitoring Reproducible, and write observations on the
lines provided. Encourage students to track their own
progress by filling in their Student Recording Sheet
Reproducible as they master reading and spelling words.

Student Recording Sheet Reproducible
Make-A-Word Center™: Pre-Primer Dolch Words
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.
Variations
• Challenge students to use each word correctly in a
sentence after writing it.
• Cover the first two columns and have students write
the word in the third column.
• Have students work in pairs and take turns. One
student selects a Pre-Primer Dolch Word Card and
names its letters. The other student gathers the
appropriate Foam Letters, builds the word, and
writes it on the Work Mat.
