Bob Books: Sight Words - First Grade

From the bestselling learn-to-read program comes a brand-new set of books dedicated entirely to SIGHT WORDS! First-grade edition.

Sight words, or high frequency words, are words that appear repeatedly in your children’s reading material. Knowing these words "by sight" is essential for reading speed and comprehension. Consistent short vowels and simple stories mean children sound out (decode) most of the story, and must memorize only three sight words per book. Your child will continue to build confidence and sight word fluency, with Bob Books Sight Words - First Grade.

These ten books provide 30 more sight words, in slightly longer stories, to build confidence and success in the progressing reader. [CONTINUED]

Great works well.

By Steven R. McEvoy "MCWPP" - July 29, 2012

The Bob Books are a series of boxed sets designed to help develop skills at different levels and complexities. They are designed to grow with a child as their skills in reading improve. This is the second set we have given our oldest daughter and she loves them.

There are 10 books in this specific boxed set:
Plums
Little Bug
Pretty
The Sled
What Is that?
Come In
The Old Truck
Play Ball
Dress Up
Before and After

30 Flash Cards of the 30 sights words:
are, good, now, ate, he, little, pretty, said, she, will, with, you, my, that, what, come, into, under, make, new, like, play, bring, small, old, find,
before, then, long, after

The tools combined in this box set are a real aide in helping a child grow and develop their reading skills. The focused repetitions between the flash cards and the same words being a big focus in the books is a well designed and planned tool. One of the things I like best... read more

Not Sure About Sight Word Sets

By Amy in Texas - September 7, 2012

I am using the Bob series to supplement my Kinder's phonics program. The books have just the right difficulty to challenge but not discourage. My Kinder LOVES them! My only challenge with books stems from my Kinder's ability to memorize everything very quickly. Plus the pictures might give too many context clues for us. Overall, we purchased first two sets and, once started, quickly purchased the remaining sets. Great product!

However, we have struggled with the Kinder and First Sight Word books. They contain enough "advanced" words that I feel we will not really be able to tackle the sight word sets until we have finished the reader book sets. The sight word sets do come with flash cards which is nice.

Helped My Son Catch Up!

By Danielle Lariviere - April 17, 2012

My son started off the first grade slightly behind in his reading. I knew he could do it, he just needed the right reading material and practice. Completely lost on where to start, I liked the what I saw with the Bob books and the reviews. Starting with book 1 from the first set, my son has read through the whole series, mastering each book, in about 6-7 months. I loved how each book built on the last one, it was so easy for me help him move forward. He thought the books were really silly which helped keep him interested. Some books he wanted to read over and over because he enjoyed them so much. Now he's at grage level and a much more confident reader. When he read the last book, we went back to the very first book so he could see how far he came and he was very proud of himself. I am too! I just wish there was another set for the next statge:0(
