Back to School Book Review and Giveaway
Today was a big day for our family. HUGE. The first day of kindergarten for our triplets. I’ll try to dry my eyes long enough to write this review!
In trying to prepare the little people for this big adventure, we’ve used games and other fun tools to help them recognize some basic sight words. We want them to be ready for reading! And Scholastic Books helped us with that by providing these awesome books/flash card sets. Thank you, Scholastic!
From the #1 bestselling learn-to-read program come two brand-new sets focused on learning and practicing Sight Words.
Sight Words are words that are recognized by sight rather than sounded out, in order to achieve reading fluency. They are the most frequently used words in the English language, and are often unable to be read phonetically (“was”, “are”, and “out” are examples). Bob Books Sight Words feature the top Sight Words in two sets – one for kindergarten and one for first grade – in order to allow parents and children to read, learn, and practice easily and enjoyably.
Each Sight Words box includes 10 original books, 30 flashcards, and a parent guide. Soon your child will be saying “I read the whole book!”®
We absolutely LOVE the simplicity of these kits. Each box contains several small booklets (perfect size for little hands) that are numerically ordered for foundational learning. The booklets each focus on a few sight words and are adorably illustrated to hold children’s attention. My kids are already recognizing many of the words in the first few books of the kindergarten series. The repetition in the stories and the reinforcement of the flash cards work in tandem to create a rich learning experience.
Head on over to Scholastic’s Bob Books site to see the other great things they have to offer! There are Sight Word activities and even a VIDEO presentation on Bob Books.
Two lucky readers can win a set of their own Bob Books Sight Words PLUS a Bob Books lunchbox (made my Thermos).
