With playful, decodable stories, silly illustrations, and a phonics approach based on Science of Reading research, Bob Books keep young readers' confidence high, leading to continued success and a love of reading. Your child will soon join the millions of happy kids who say, "I read the whole book!"®

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 and gently advance 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
