If you're looking to add a few dividend shares to your portfolio this week, then I think the ones listed below are worth considering.

Here's why I think these dividend shares are in the buy zone:

Dicker Data Ltd (ASX: DDR)

The first ASX dividend share to consider investing in is Dicker Data. It is an Australia owned and operated distributor of IT hardware, software, cloud, and Internet of Things solutions. Thanks to a growing number of vendor agreements and strong demand for IT products, Dicker Data has delivered robust earnings and dividend growth over the last few years.

Pleasingly, this trend looks likely to continue in FY 2020. So much so, the company is confident enough to provide dividend guidance of 35.5 cents per share this year. This equates to a 31% increase year on year and represents a fully franked forward 4.6% dividend yield.

Sydney Airport Holdings Pty Ltd (ASX: SYD)

While I wouldn't be buying Sydney Airport's shares if you want dividends in 2020, if you can afford to be patient it could be a great option. Australia's busiest airport isn't very busy at all right now. The pandemic has led to severe travel restrictions both domestically and internationally. However, the good news is that the domestic market is on the verge of starting its recovery.

Last week Qantas Airways Limited (ASX: QAN) revealed that it is preparing to increase its capacity to upwards of 40% of pre-pandemic levels by the end of July. I expect this to be a big boost to Sydney Airport and could put it in a position to pay a decent dividend in FY 2021. I estimate that it could pay as much as 27 cents per share to shareholders next year, before increasing it to 37 cents per share in FY 2022. This represents a 3.8% yield and a 5.25% yield, respectively.
