Among the most widely used sets of sight words are the Dolch List and the first 315 sight words. These lists provide a solid foundation for early readers, as they include the most frequently used words in English text.

The Dolch Word List

In 1936, Edward William Dolch compiled a list of 220 service words and 95 common nouns that make up approximately 50% of all printed text. These words are considered the most essential for reading fluency, and they are often the first words taught to beginning readers.
