In order to become a Word Bird, you must read one-thousand Dolch words. If you can read five-hundred Dolch words your picture will be displayed on our Bulletin Board, "We Are the Word Birds." Once you read one-thousand words you will receive a Word Bird pin at our awards ceremony!
Dolch words are words that students should be able to read automatically. The more sight words a child recognizes in a particular passage, the more fluent their reading will be, allowing them to concentrate on the actual meaning of the text as a whole rather than having to stop frequently to decode particular words.
