Bob Books - Sight Words Kindergarten Box Set | Decodable Phonics Books, Ages 4 and up, Kindergarten, Flashcards (Stage 2: Emerging Reader)

My son just finished a Young 5's program and is out of school for the summer. He was beginning to learn sight words and I was told he was a Level A reader. It wasn't until summer vacation actually started that I realized I didn't really understand what that meant. I thought it would be simple to go to the store and pick up some books for him to keep up with his newly acquired skills during summer break. I had tried purchasing other learning-to-read style books and they were too advanced for him despite it being the "earliest" stage. Insert BOB Books. My son can actually somewhat read these books and is learning fast from them. The back of the books in this set actually say they are Level B and C books but these are perfect for him to build on his vocabulary. I especially love this set because it comes with flash cards of sight words found in the stories. On the opposite side of each flash card has a picture and sentence that coordinates to the picture, using the sight word. It comes with 10 books and each book introduces 3 new sight words. The sentence structures are perfect, using a lot of the same words frequently in the same book, but in different orders so they aren't reading the same sentence over and over. They are seeing the same words in different orders of the sentence, creating familiarity and confidence, along with other commonly seen words. This is our first BOB Books purchase and I will definitely be getting more, although I wish they all came with flash cards (not all sets do).

These books are amazing and have helped my 6yr old become a better reader. she reads them almost everyday. They are easy and short so she doesnt get discouraged. This is our second set of these books

Very pleased with these books! My little is able to sit down and read the books completely on his own and has gained so much confidence!

awesome for struggling or new readers

These are great for learning to read. My 6 year old is so happy when she is able to get through the whole book. The simple books make it easier to learn and the sight word flash cards are so helpful.

I got all of the sets for my daughter who was behind in reading and still in. She works on these books daily and loves them. She even comes home asking for them. They are simple and easy to follow along. The pictures are not super colorful which helps the reader not be distracted. They are easy to travel with or just a quick read while cooking dinner. As a teacher myself I recommend these to all my students.

We really appreciate the BOB books in our home. Books that my daughter, nearly 6, can read without getting too stumped or frustrated. They're probably a tad bit too easy for her, but the repetition is what counts for me and she can and will pick up these books on her own to just read. We also have level 1 books. We'll probably get most of the sets because we use them that much. I just haven't found other sets of books that are this read-able for her. What I do not like about them are the ugly and creepy drawings. They really bother me, to an irrational point, I know. My husband is indifferent about the issue. I know something is better than nothing, but I wish I could find more quality design/drawings in books that we use this often. Overall, we really are grateful to have these books and recommend them to anyone. If I could find its literary equivalent with nicer illustrations, I would switch in a second.

These cards are a wonderful way to cement sight words into your child's memory. Before I have my little one read one of the books we discuss the sight words in the story and IF the sight words can be decoded phonetically I have my child practice that a few times. Then I have her read the stories, lastly we go through the flash cards by flashing the sight words and then reading the sentence on the back. I love that the sight words are all context based. It really helps kids remember and understand sight words in a fun way instead of boring rote memorization. Consistency is key. Do it everyday until mastered. Read 2-3 of the books and go through the flash cards. Then move up to the next level
