Matching Dolch Terms

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a recognition and matching exercise that focuses on Dolch sight words, which are high-frequency words in the English language. The sheet displays five groups of words, each group headed by a bold Dolch word: “after,” “could,” “over,” “every,” and “live.” Students are tasked with reading the bold word and then circling all instances of that word in the list below it. Each list contains several words, but only some are matches to the bold heading word.

The purpose of this worksheet is to strengthen students’ ability to recognize and differentiate Dolch sight words from other words. It helps in reinforcing the correct spelling and visual form of each word by having students identify the matching words in a list. This activity promotes careful reading and attention to detail, as students need to discern between very similar words. Additionally, it serves as a foundational practice for developing reading fluency, as familiarity with these sight words is crucial for efficient reading and comprehension.
