LITERACY @ ECSD
Sight Words
These initial lists were compiled from a couple of meetings among teachers at Sacred Heart. The start point was the 176 function words from the Essential Word Lists published in 2016 by Dang, T. N. Y., & Webb, S. The Dolch and Fry lists were also consulted, and there were some additional words added as well.
