Publisher's Description

Created by a teacher, Bob Books have been helping children learn to read for more than forty years! Introduce developing readers to key sight words with this fun, phonics-based set of easy-to-read stories. Now in a sturdy hardcover!

Sight words, also known as high-frequency words, are common words that appear again and again in children's reading materials, and learning them 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. 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 decodable and gently advance young readers' skills.

Inside this sturdy hardcover you'll find:

  • 10 small, hilarious, easy-to-read books: 12 pages each, 14-40 unique words per book
  • A parent guide with tips for helping your child learn to read

Each story 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

Guided Reading Levels: C, D | Lexile Measure: 30L - 390L | Bob Books Level: Stage 2

Ages: 4-6 | Grade Levels: Kindergarten, First Grade

Bob Books' phonics-based method aligns with the body of research known as the Science of Reading, which proves that systematic phonics instruction is crucial to children's reading success. With simple phonics, playful stories, and silly illustrations, 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!"®
