BOB Books Sight Words Giveaway – 2 Winners!

August 28, 2010 By

Prizey Pick badge Pictures, Images and Photos 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!

    Book Giveaway – Hannah’s List by Debbie Macomber

    May 19, 2010 By

    This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the three winners:

    #7 Carolsue

    #137 Cynthia R

    #83 Vickie Couturier

    Enjoy your books!

    With more than 100 million copies of her books in print, Debbie Macomber is one of today’s most popular authors. In her new book Hannah’s List, pediatrician Michael Everett is given a letter by his late wife Hannah’s brother to be opened on the one-year anniversary of her death. In the letter, Hannah tells Michael that she wants him to remarry, and suggests three women she feels would make a good wife for him. Michael then sets out to get to know each woman and see if he can figure out how to love again.

    Synopsis: Occasionally, we get an opportunity to change our lives—whether it’s another chance at love, changing the path we’ve chosen or going back and making amends for the past. Hannah’s List is the story of a widower who is given an unexpected letter from his wife on the first anniversary of her death. In a remarkable act of love, Hannah includes a list of three women for him to consider marrying. With a unique twist and intriguing element, readers will be in for a wonderful story of a love that transcends time, hope that is exceptionally unselfish, and the possibility of a future otherwise unfathomable. An unexpected letter. An impossible request. The gift of a second chance.

    The book is a quick read, with large print. I cruised through the first half of the book in a few hours. Even though I could see how the book was going to end pretty quickly, I wanted to see how Michael would handle getting to know each of the three women and how the two he didn’t choose would end up. The ending was satisfying if not predictable, and in my ideal world, Macomber will write another book that continues the story of Michael Everett and the woman he chose.

    WIN IT: One Grand Prize winner will receive a copy of Hannah’s List and a $25 VISA gift card. Two additional winners will each receive a copy of the book.  Enter by Wednesday June 2nd at 12:00 PM EST. Open to U.S. mailing addresses only.

    MAIN ENTRY: Leave a comment on this post telling me which Debbie Macomber book is your favorite, or why you want to read Hannah’s List.
