Continuing the Grade 3 progression
List 3 continues from List 2, covering the next batch of Grade 3's sight words. By this point in the sequence, a child has usually built real momentum and familiarity with the overall pattern of practicing a new small batch at a time.
What the Grade 3 list is building toward
The Dolch Grade 3 list is the final tier of the original list, and its words — "together," "myself," "laugh" — are generally longer and less phonetically obvious than earlier lists, closer to the vocabulary a child will encounter in genuine chapter books. Mastering this list is usually treated as a practical benchmark: a reader who knows all 220 Dolch words by sight has covered a large share of the highest-frequency words in ordinary English text.
