Where these lists come from

The Dolch word lists were published by Edward William Dolch in the 1930s and 1940s and are in the public domain. The 220 words are split into five levels: pre-primer, primer, grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3. Topic lists are ordinary nouns chosen for classroom use, not copied from any textbook series.
