I need a list of the "non-decodable" Dolch sight words.?
I realize they are all supposed to be recognized "on sight" however, I know a list exists of the specific ones that are not decodable using phonics rules...such as 'does' and 'was'...'see' is decodable...does anyone have a list such as this? I have the 220 Dolch words and the 95 Dolch nouns...can anyone help?

Is there a sentence where every letter of the alphabet is at the beginning of at least one word? “Cats and dogs are bad" would work if the alphabet ended at D. Is there one that goes all the way to Z?
I suppose it would be cheating to simply have a list of such words... e.g.:The words Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliet, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, Yankee, and Zulu are used to represent their initial letters in the NATO phonetic alphabet.
How do you teach children phonics?
I teach phonics in this way:Just as most every animal has a sound they make, so does every letter.I use animal picture cards and the sounds they make to teach what sound a cow makes, a horse, a bee, a cat, a dog, and I slowly introduce within those cards the alphabet written on cards. Then I say, “This is an “S”, it says ‘ssssss’. This is an M, it says mmmmm.”I use NO animal photos with the alphabet cards. It just confuses the process.I start early, age 2. This way it's not so intense as if I only did alphabet cards.Slowly I teach that some animals can make more than one sound and I introduce vowels. Vowels say 2 sounds, long and short.I introduce double vowels , such as “ea”, and say “this say eeeee (as in ‘meat’) and “oa “ and say “this says ooooohhh” (as in ‘boat’)..I also do this with th, wh, sh, and ch -CH has three sounds….SH as in charades, K as in chorus, and CH as in church.Then, I put two letters together such a “me”. They know the m says mmmm and the e says eeeee. I teach them to say it together and they've read a word.Words then get formed into sentences.For older children, grades 2 and above, I do it the same way except I teach and drill the whole alphabet and their sounds daily .I use Classroom Phonics, Distar Reading which is great for special needs students, and Open Court Phonics-which can all be found on YouTube and for purchase on the internet.I also use Visual Phonics, which is a type of sign language for phonics and reading.I have found incorporating all 4 methods is the best way and…I make sure it is always fun and I never say negative things, only positive.Open Court YouTube below:Visual Phonics below:Distar Reading (previously SRA) below:Then to teach sight words, which don't use the usual phonics rules, I use the Dolch Sight Word lists and start from grade pre-kindergarten and move up, writing each word on a card. I use drill method, introducing 3 more words each day.Dolch Sight Words List
