There are six words per page. The words per level are arranged by frequency. You can print the first page first and master these words first before adding new words from the next page.
The list of nouns are grouped alphabetically. I suggest to start with the nouns that your child will be using most often at home.
We made the Dolch Word Lists flash cards as color-coded by levels. So the border color for Primary is different from the border color of the other levels. We hope it helps in organizing the cards once you cut them all out.
