Watch kids learn 50 of the most common sight words right before your very eyes 

Sight words are words without phonetic rules that appear frequently in text—such as “like” and “can.” Getting a head start on recognizing these words can greatly speed up the process of becoming an independent, successful reader. Learn to Read: Sight Words Storybook contains 25 cute stories and fun activities that feature 50 of the most common sight words.

Learn to Read: Sight Words Storybook contains:
  • See, say, repeat—At the end of each story you’ll find two fun activities where your child can practice identifying the words they’ve just read, reinforcing the learning.
  • Seeing is believing—Bright colors and engaging stories are perfect for navigating this new experience as kids learn to read.
  • The right speed—Sight words are introduced in a slow, progressive manner, with each story increasing slightly in difficulty as they learn to read.
Kids will learn to read faster and easier—and have more fun—with this sight words storybook.

MY REVIEW:  According to author Kimberly Kiedrowski, a former kindergarten teacher, "sight words" are commonly-used words which don't follow normal phonetic rules (spelling patterns and sounding out vowels, consonants, and syllables). In her book, "Learn to Read: Sight Words Storybook: 25 Simple Stories & Activities for Beginner Readers", she advises that learning such words can be tricky for beginning readers, but she includes cute stories, fun activities, and colorful illustrations to make the learning process easier and more enjoyable. Each of the stories features two sight words--such as "like & to", "up & down", "goes & the", "jump & in", and many more. At the end of each story, there are practice activities for each of the sight words. Story titles include "I Like to Play", "A Day at the Park", "Helpful Me", "Let's Eat", "The Library", "Growing a Garden", "The Lemonade Stand", and others. The stories and learning activities gradually increase in difficulty as the book progresses.

“This is an awesome resource for all young learners. Colorful illustrations, simple repeated text for each story, and engaging follow-up activities make learning sight words fun! As a former teacher and mom of two, I know this is a must-have tool for children learning sight words.” ―Kelly McFarland, former teacher and creator of Engaging Littles

“Simple and predictable story patterns along with quick and easy sight word activities make this book a great resource for toddler and preschool parents who are looking to prepare their little ones for kindergarten! This book is sure to give little ones the jump start they need into literacy!” ―Tasha Emmerson, founder of Confessions of a Tiny Teacher

“An important skill for early readers, preschool age to kindergarten, is building a foundation of sight words. In Learn to Read: Sight Words Storybook, Kimberly does a fabulous job of creating visually appealing, yet simple, stories for early readers that focus on two sight words at a time. The activities that follow each story are diverse and a perfect way for early readers to practice the sight words from the story. If you have an early reader, you need this book!” ―Tiffany Ben-Canaan @Mrs_Abc123
