Acvity 2
Word Recognion
Acvity 3
Half words : Show a word that has been divided through the middle to show only the
first or last half of the spellings/words. This helps to encourage visual memory of the
word shapes/formaon.
Showing words upside down : Through this acvity, the teacher will reinforce the visual
shape of words.
Oen students are able to spell the dolch words but are unable to recognize them while
reading unfamiliar text. Hence, it is important that the words be highlighted when used in
short sentences or paragraphs.
Ensure that the students get sufficient pracce and exposure to read the dolch words in a
sentence, poem, riddle, paragraph, etc. The length of the reading will depend upon the level
of the student. More than one Dolch / Sight word may be used per sentence. The sentences
need to be printed neatly on a piece of white ruled paper with space between them. It is
important that the students see the words in the correct context or print like they will be seen
while reading.
BANG!
Student Activity
Students pracce the dolch words in the fun way, by playing a game.
All the Dolch Word cards are put in a box which is placed where it is accessible to the
students playing the game. Every student, by turn, picks a card and reads it aloud. If he/
she reads it correctly, he/she can keep the card and if unable to read the card is dropped
back into the box. The game connues ll each student has parcipated in the game.
Some cards will have ‘BANG!’ wrien on them instead of a dolch word. When a student
picks up a Bang card, he/she has to say “BANG!” in a loud voice and put all the cards he/
she has back in the box.

Based on the list of dolch words, the students frame a story. The teacher writes down
sentences with blanks and the students will fill up the blanks with recently learnt dolch
words. Refer to the book Sensaonal Sight Word Games by Joan Novelli for more
