Dolch Sight Words K Student Activities

For this activity, students in the AESL 702 Beginning Low class were separated into 5 groups in which they discussed the Dolch Sight Words K level list. Then they took turns and discussed how each vocabulary term can be used into a complete idea. After that, each group identified a group leader who coordinated each individual in the group to participate and write simple sentences with each vocabulary term assigned. Finally, each group assigned an individual presenter to read the group’s sentences in front of the entire class.

Here is the list of Dolch Sight Words K:
