Each worksheet walks students through the same routine: read the word, finger tap the sounds, build it with letter tiles, map each sound to its spelling, heart the irregular part, write it, and use it in a sentence.
The assessment pack includes:
- Dolch sight word lists for all 5 levels, grouped in sets of 10
- Reading assessments with a student copy and a scored teacher copy
- Spelling assessment recording sheets for each level
- Dolch sight word checklists for reading and spelling, all 220 words on one page each
- Reading progress report to send home
Why you'll love it:
The heart word method comes from orthographic mapping research. Students connect sounds to spellings instead of memorizing shapes, which means fewer words slip away over the summer. The checklists and assessments let you show exactly which words each student owns and which need another round.
Use the worksheets in small groups, intervention, centers, or homework. Assess one group of 10 at a time and reassess only what was missed.
Prep is quick and easy. Print the level you need and the routine runs itself.
