EZread™ Second Grade Dolch Phrase & Short Sentence Flash Cards
Congratulations on your purchase of the Really Good Stuff®
EZread™ Second Grade Dolch Phrase & Short Sentence Flash
Cards—a versatile set that helps primary students master
important sight words within context.
Objective
To read common Dolch words in context fluently and
automatically.
Meeting Common Core State Standards
Read common high-frequency words by sight. Decode regularly
spelled one-syllable words. Recognize and read gradeappropriate irregularly spelled words.
This Really Good Stuff® product includes:
• 92 Two-Sided Flash Cards
• This Really Good Stuff® Teaching Guide
Using Flash Card activities, you can provide your individual or
small group of emergent readers the repetitive practice they
need to master sight words and short phrases or sentences.
This helps students recognize some of the most frequently
occurring words automatically by sight, rather than by
sounding out letter sounds that they are still learning.
• Storing the Flash Cards in zippered plastic bags or on
separate rings will allow you to access them easily during a
lesson or when you want to place a selection of cards in a
learning center.
Introducing EZread™ Second Grade Dolch Phrase & Short
Sentence Flash Cards
1. Select a set of cards for a particular Dolch word.
2. Hold up each card. Have the student read it aloud.
Observe how long it takes for the student to read each
word correctly.
3. Set aside or note those cards that the student cannot
read.
4. Mix up the remaining cards and again display them one
at a time, increasing the pace slightly as you hold them
up for the student.
5. Repeat until the student is able to read the words
automatically.
6. Study the cards further using the activities
that follow.
Reading sight words within context is a great way to improve
on the sight-word knowledge base and to build reading fluency.
Because most sight words do not stimulate a visual image in
the mind of the reader, practicing them in common phrases
and short sentences helps students attach meaning and
context to otherwise abstract words. The repeated
contextualized exposure to sight words allows you to reach all
readers, especially those struggling with word recognition or
learning English.
The words chosen for the EZread™ Second Grade Dolch Phrase
& Short Sentence Flash Cards are taken only
from the Second Grade Dolch word list or are words that are
easily decodable. The phrases and short sentences are
common: students will encounter them many times in their
reading, speaking, and listening. For each Dolch word there are
4 common phrases or short sentences.

Activities for Further Practice
Card Cut-Apart
Select a sight-word phrase or short sentence and write it on
an index card or sentence strip. Have the student read
it and then cut the card, separating the words. Then ask the
student to put the words back into the correct order.

EZread™ Second Grade Dolch Phrase & Short Sentence Flash Cards
Concentration
Select at least eight phrases or short
sentences and write each on two cards.
Mix up the cards and place them face down in
rows. Have two to four students take turns
turning over two cards at a time, trying to
find a match. When a student gets a
matched pair, he or she gets to
keep the pair. If not, the cards go back to
their original positions, and the turn is over.
The game is over when all the cards have been
matched. The winner is the player with the
most pairs.
Phrase and Short Sentence Hunt
Have students hunt for phrases and
short sentences in the context of
reading materials, classroom labeling,
and sentences you display for them.
Phrase Vs. Sentence
It is important students understand the
difference between a phrase and short
sentence. Point out that a phrase is a partial
thought that can be completed in order to
make it a sentence. As students practice
reading, have them complete phrases, turning
them into sentences.
Use It in Context
Use the phrases in sentences as you go. Then
challenge the student to do the same. The
sentences can be simple as long as they
make sense.
