These 220 Dolch sight words cards are downloadable from our membership site in 2 sizes - 21cm x 7cm and 14cm x 5 cm.  (see below for printing colour coding ideas)

We would learn 3 Dolch words per week and 1- 2 high frequency Dolch Nouns per week.  This worked really well.  

All words from this list should be known at a glance, definitely by the time a child is 7 - 8 years old.  

I make these cards up using the following colours in the sizes available on our Membership Site - it doesn't matter what colours they are really.
