WHY SIGHT WORDS?
Sight Words can be a stumbling block for early readers because so many of them cannot easily be sounded out or illustrated. The Bob Books Reading Magic - Sight Words app was developed to help young readers gain sight word vocabulary through engaging, interactive games that capture a child’s imagination.

WHY BOB BOOKS?
Bob Books Reading Magic - Sight Words follows the same method and principles as the #1 best-selling Bob Books series of early readers. Bob Books were created to lead children to the ah-ha moment when letters first turn into words.

Our Sight Words app continues Bob Books’ commitment to bringing children a satisfying, successful first reading experience, with engaging games, easy first steps, wholesome values, authentic hand-drawn illustrations, and beautiful full-color animations.

FEATURES
Four different games to practice reading and spelling 30 of the most common Kindergarten level sight words - plus animated rewards for each new sight word learned to engage children just starting to read.

Game 1: Drag letters to spell a sight word
Game 2: Trace each letter in a sight word
Game 3: Spin letter dials to complete a sight word
Game 4: Read and drag sight words to complete a sentence.

Bob Books Reading Magic - Sight Words will show your child how to:
-Make the connection between letter shapes, words and sounds in sight words.
-Read and sound out sight words.
-Spell the sight words they’ve read.

By slowly introducing new sight words in context through playing a game, and by 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 reading magic of Bob Books. Soon your child will join millions of children who can proudly say, “I read the whole book!”®
