Stage 2: Emerging Readers: Bob Books: Sight Words - Year 2 Award-winning illustrator by Lynn Maslen Kertell (author) and Sue Hendra (illustrator) (US edition)

Sight words are common words that appear again and again in your children’s reading material. Knowing these words ‘by sight’ is essential for reading fluency. This set provides more practice by introducing another set of sight words.

With Sight Words Year 2 (1st Grade) we continue with our easy method for introducing sight words. Consistent short vowels and simple stories mean children sound out (decode) the story, and must memorize only three new sight words per book. With plenty of repetition and context clues, your young reader will quickly master the next set of 30 sight words.

Words and stories in the Sight Words Year 2 (1st Grade) box set are slightly longer and more complex than the Sight Words Year 1 (Kindergarten) box set. Succeeding reading these books builds confidence in the progressing reader.

Inside the box you’ll find:

10 easy-to-read, hilarious small books, 12 pages each.
Slightly longer and more complex stories.
All stories told in one syllable, three-, four- and five-letter words, plus sight words.
Consistent short vowels mean easy decoding in the rest of the story.
Three new sight words introduced in each book.
30 two-sided, sight words flash cards.

Sight words introduced: a, are, ate, before, bring, come, find, good, he, into, like, little, long, make, my, new, now, old, play, pretty, said, she, than, that, too, under, what, will, with, you

ABOUT BOBS BOOKS

Bob Books is America’s no.1, award-winning, learning-to-read series trusted for over 40 years.

Bob Books is a true first reader series, designed to make helping children learn to read simple and straightforward. The clean layout, short words, and simple phonics make learning to read a fun and natural step for a child that knows the alphabet. Companion workbooks extend children’s reading journey by allowing them to practice the skills learned in the books.

Bob Books is designed to give young children the tools to cross from learning letters to reading words. The award-winning beginning reader book sets start slowly and progress from books with three letter words, to books with more than one sentence per page. By meeting children at the right level, parents are often amazed at how quickly their child is able to sound out words when reading their first Bob Book.

Bob Books covers four reading stages…

Stage 1: Starting to Read From learning the alphabet to sounding out your first words
Stage 2: Emerging Readers Sentences become longer and sight words are introduced

Stage 2: Emerging Readers

Author/Illustrator

Sue Hendra

Sue Hendra is the wonderfully funny, award-winning author and illustrator of some of our favourite picture books, like Barry the Fish with Fingers and Norman the Slug with the Silly Shell.

Sue has always loved drawing and art was definitely the highlight of her school timetable. As she got older the prospect of going away to study art at university and LEAVE HOME was very enticing. She decided she wanted to go to Brighton and that’s where she did, in fact, end up doing her degree. Sue had a great time and got a job with Harry Potter publisher Bloomsbury immediately after she left.

Sue was hugely fortunate enough to hone her skills as an illustrator whilst she worked for the likes of Bloomsbury, Walker Books, Oxford University Press, Macmillan etc, illustrating and writing picture books. She has now been working as an illustrator and author for fifteen years and still loves it.
