The first 22 words are expected to be mastered in the first unit upon entering first grade.  The rest of the words are from the Dolch list and they are the most frequent words found in both kindergarten and first grade books.  Print out the list and put the words on index cards.  Use them as flash cards or arrange the word cards to build sentences.  Learning all or some of these words over the summer will give your child an extra jump towards success in first grade
