Look-say, Sight Words, Whole Word, Whole Language, Dolch words, and others —all mean the same thing.

The Education Establishment constantly invented new marketing terms for their favorite gimmick, so parents would be too confused to resist.

You can Google “sight words” or “dolch words” and find hundreds of websites that are promoting the same lists of words that kids are supposed to memorize.
