SIGHT WORD READERS

They are also the words that control the flow and coherence of a story. But learning sight words can be tricky because most of them don't follow a decodable pattern. That's where Sight Word Readers comes in. This collection of lively storybooks gives kids practice with the top 50 words used in print. Each book has 8 pages with 3-5 words a page. Includes workbooks.
