free printable kindergarten books with sight words

They were first published in 1976 and have now become VERY popular among beginning readers. John Maslen, an amazing water-color painter, drew the pictures. While working in a preschool, Bobby began making the books for her preschoolers to learn how to read. Since I made the book, the least I can do is share.Do you teach a young reader with the BOB Books? Then you’ve just struck gold! This post is FILLED with tons of FREE BOB Books printables for sets 1-5 and beyond…īOB Books were created by Bobby Lynn Maslen and John Maslen. I showed Jonah how to use a highlighter to highlight the word 'my' and he eagerly found them again. )Īfter we were done assembling the book, we practiced reading it a few times and finding the word 'my' throughout the pages. (Jonah added even more friends after I took a picture of this. (Can you tell we're STILL obsessed with cars around here?) (Jonah started with the door and Mommy helped with the house outline)

(Do you see the progress on writing his name?!?! So proud of that orange crayon writing!) So, I whipped up a quick book in Microsoft Word, printed it out, and grabbed my favorite illustrator.

There are lots of 'sight word' books online to print, but I wanted to start with something more personal that he would be interested in. While 'my' is a common word in books, I wanted to extend the learning. He's confident now and has started going on a 'word hunt' in other books. Success! It's still on our fridge and now we read it every time we pass it. I hung it on the fridge at eye-level and later heard him practicing reading it. We practiced a few times before dinner, but he didn't seem to show tons of interest. (I know, I know.you're impressed with my 2-second drawing. I grabbed a piece of paper and a crayon and made a quick 'rebus' style poster for him.

He wanted desperately to read it on his own. Jonah was looking at a book called 'My Cats' (a repetitive High-Frequency Reader from Scholastic that I had just found at the local discount bookstore Clearance Sale). I wasn't very scientific in choosing a word to start with, it sort of randomly happened one day as we were preparing dinner.

I've recently taken notice of some readiness for sight words with Jonah and decided to give it a try. We've entered the world of 'Sight Words' around here!
