Kid’s Corner: My First Learn-to-Read Sight Words Workbook

#MyFirstLearntoReadSightWordsWorkbook #NetGalley

This book is geared to kids between the ages of four to seven. It is visually appealing and colorful. The goal is to help kids to learn 101 sight words. If children stick with this title, that goal will be achieved.

Note that this is a workbook and the way that the exercises are set up may start to feel repetitive to some children. Some kids will love that predictability while others may be a bit bored.

Kids will color and trace a word and then look for it in a sea of fish or complete a sentence, look for the word in a small grid or write a sentence in these exercises. The end of the book includes some larger word searches and coloring activities.

This book would make an excellent book for review over the summer months.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Cider Mill Press for this title. All opinions are my own.
