Special thanks to the editors of Prizey.net for choosing this giveaway as an Editor’s Pick!
BOB Books by Scholastic is the #1 bestselling learn-to-read program and now it contains two brand-new sets focused on learning and practicing Sight Words.
Sight Words are words that children are taught to recognize by sight, rather than sounding them out. They are words that don’t follow phonetic rules in their pronounciation, like “aunt”, “friend”, or “out”. 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.
Scholastic has introduced two new Sight Words box sets – Sight Words Kindergarten and Sight Words First Grade. With these special sets, parents can decide whether to purchase the set their child will need in the current school year, or purchase the set that helps reinforce what they already learned.
Each box set includes:
- 10 original books (each with 3 new sight words)
- 30 flash cards
- Parent guide
HOW TO BUY: Visit The Scholastic Store to buy either or both of these titles. Both Sight Words Kindergarten and Sight Words First grade have a list price of $16.99, but are on sale now for $13.99 (each), a savings of 20 percent!

Bob Books were created to facilitate that ah-ha moment when letters first turn into words. By slowly introducing new letter sounds, using consistency, repetition and stories that fit short attention spans – your child will quickly find his or her own ah-ha moment. This is the magic of Bob Books. ….. Great!

Lynn has been involved with the Bob Books right from the beginning, starting with paste up and lettering of the first edition in the 1970’s. She later spent several years in other ventures. She returned to the family business as her own daughter was beginning to read. That was when she gained true appreciation for the simplicity, fun, humor and easy success of Bob Books.

I learned that “Bob Books came about as a result of teacher Bobby Lynn Maslen’s careful attention to the specific needs of children learning to read for the very first time.”
