I asked Anna Claire if she could read any of these Second Grade Dolch Words, and she was quick to reply, "I can read all of them, Mommy!" And then she did! She started at the upper-left and went straight down each column to the end of the page, and she did it fast. Then, once she got to "write" the last word, she asked, "Do I get a treat for that?"
Um, yes, you can have a treat.
You can see at the bottom she's finally interested in trying to write letters which has been a real power struggle around here. We are just glad she's showing an interest, because up until a month ago, she could've cared less about writing letters! But darn it, she can read, so we don't pressure her on the writing much.
Ok, naturally after seeing she could read all of the second grade words, I was curious how she'd do with third grade. She knew 32 of the 41 words on this list, but if you look at her miscues for the 9 she missed, she was pretty close!
Miscues:
hold - told
myself - by myself
seven - even
hurt - hunt
light - night
got - got it
if - in
own - grown
eight - night
