Dolch Word List

The Dolch word list is a set of lists of the 220 most commonly used words in the English language. In 1936 Edward William Dolch, PhD identified the 220 most commonly used words that were not nouns in children's books of that time. He devised a separate list for nouns. Many of the words on the Dolch word list do not sound out phonetically and have since become known as "sight" words, because they are memorized and "read" by sight (recognized by their shape and not from sounding out). Some of the words are no longer used regularly in English today but most have remained high frequency words for almost eighty years.

SBI!

Are you interested in creating a website like this one to bring in some extra income?

Especially if you are like I was when I started and know next to nothing about website building? If so, you might want to look into what SBI has to offer.

SBI, for a minimal charge offers an amazing amount of tools and resources along with step by step instructions. They provide everything you need. All you need to bring to the table is an idea or a topic that you are very interested in. And what if you don’t even have that? Then they will help lead you through that decision making aspect as well.
