This was a Costco impulse
purchase. One day my daughter and I were
looking on the book aisle, and I saw this.
As sight words are a big part of testing in California. I thought I should by this collection. Hopefully it would make sight word learning
more fun than rote memorization.

Summary:
This collection is made up of 20 books. Each book has 12 pages and focuses on a small amount of sight words. Each book repeats sight words in short sentences to aid in learning. Seeing and reading words several times will help the early reader learn and retain the sight words in the Bob books sight word collection.
Evaluation:
I like these books. I wish I had gotten them a bit earlier in my
daughters reading life. By the time we
did purchase and read them, she said they were too easy. That being said, we keep them in the car and
on road trips she goes through all twenty of the books, one by one. So, if repetition of simple sounds and words
is good for retention and learning, then I think these books are helping. Any reading is good reading!Similar Titles or Authors:
