Sight words, also known as high-frequency words, are common words that appear again and again in children's reading materials. Learning high-frequency words is essential for reading fluency. Kids learn to easily recognize 30 of these words in Bob Books Sight Words - First Grade. Each simple story introduces three new sight words commonly taught in first grade. Decodable words in this set are more complicated than in Bob Books Sight Words - Kindergarten, but consistent short vowels, repetition, and simple, supportive pictures keep the text easy to read, gently advancing young readers' skills.
Inside the box you'll find:
- 10 small, hilarious, easy-to-read books: 12 pages each, 14-40 unique words per book, sized perfectly for little hands
- 30 two-sided flashcards to practice the sight words in the set
- A parent guide with tips for helping your child learn to read
Each book includes:
- 30 new sight words: 3 new words per book
- Decodable text: Mostly three- to five-letter words with short vowels that can be sounded out (bug, soft, sled)
- Simple sentences (Plums are in a tree.)
- Friendly, simple illustrations that add fun and do not distract from the words
