BOB Books Sight Words For Kindergarten and Preschool Giveaway

by 266 Comments

Scholastic recently sent us BOB Books Sight Words for Kindergarten and Preschool and Zoe and Miles have both been enjoying it. You know when you sit down and work with your child and they just stare at you with glossed over eyes or they play with the string on your sweatshirt as you’re trying to teach them. You just feel like busting your head over the counter thinking to yourself they are not getting, they are not ready to learn it’s just not going to happen. I had one of those moments with Miles today, we were looking at these books and then I got side tracked (i’m a great example for him can you tell) and I wanted to teach him his ABC’s. I thought that would be a good place to start, well he did everything but pay attention.

Then tonight while we were playing with chalk he starts singing his ABC’s and he got pretty far before he started back over at A. So what I’m trying to say is don’t give up, teaching tools like these books do work. Zoe and I were looking at the words and spelling them out. She already recognizes all of the uppercase letters, we just need more work on lower case letters.

More About the Books

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!”®

  36. Read to them everyday. Have them sound out words they see out in public, around the house etc. Read yourself so they see that reading is fun!

  39. I don’t remember how I learned to read, I do remember using something like these site cards. My oldest is 4, these would be perfect for her as she starts learning words! We love the bob books!

  55. I learned to read because my father saw that the school was not using phonics and were NOT teaching me to read!!. He made flash cards for me and taught me all of my letter sounds. My best reading teacher was my father. This from a man who did not finish high school.

  59. I learned to read from having my mom continuously read with me each day. I have continued this method with my daughter, we read from basic books to chapter books.

  65. As a preschool teacher, I use the Letter People Curriculum. It teaches kids the letters as well as their sounds. I love it because we take each letter and decorate it with something that starts with that letter. We also use string to make the letters so the kids can feel their shape!

  71. my best tip for teaching to read is lots of practice with letters and sounds….. we color, paint, do play-doh letters and say the sounds over and over again. We have foam letters that my son gets to hit with a tennis racket after he names the letter and sound. My son knows his letters and sounds,… he might not reading yet, but I hope we are building the strong foundation for the next step – sight words and to start putting letter sounds together to read words… the Bob Books would really help with that.

  222. I’d love to win these books for my entering Kindergartner! My tip for teaching reading is to never stop reading to the child…even when he or she is old enough to read him or herself! Even when he or she is a baby and may not “get it,” they do!
