Every one of the 95 Dolch nouns appears at least once in the 120 boxes of this sheet (2 pages), and 25 of them a second time, mixed up so no word sits next to itself in a row. Children read each word out loud and color its box; a word they stumble on can go on their flash card pile. Try reading a whole row without stopping, then a whole page.
