Second grade sight words
The Dolch second grade set of forty-six words that begin to sound written rather than spoken: because, before, always, around, would, your. They are what make a sentence read smoothly.
The Dolch second grade set of 46 sight words, listed for recognition practice.
The second grade set is the fourth of the five Dolch sets, forty-six words that begin to sound like written rather than spoken language: because, before, always, around, would, your. These are the words that make a sentence read smoothly rather than sound spoken. The list is filed by grade the way the material is organised, and it is a reference, not a measure of progress.
How many words a week
Words written and traced over and over become words recognised in reading. A weekly group with regular review is a reasonable pace; adjust it to the reader, not the other way round.
Nothing here is a claim about any child's progress. The list is filed by grade the way the material is organised, never as a statement about a reader.
Second Grade Sight Words Tracing Worksheet
Second grade sight words in dashed form to trace over, one word to a line, on a guide rule.
This tracing sheet draws its words from the Dolch second grade set, the fourth set in the sequence. These are the words that begin to sound written rather than spoken — because, before, always, around, would — and tracing them fixes their spelling into the hand. A word met in writing over and over becomes a word recognised in reading. It pairs with the second grade word list.
