100 Words Kids Need to Read by 1st Grade: Sight Word Practice to Build Strong Readers

This book is perfect for those homeschool days when we want learning to happen… but without overthinking it 😅 It’s an easy, effective filler that still feels productive. Simple, kid-friendly, and great for reinforcing important words without stress. Definitely nice to have on hand for the lazy (but still learning) days.

Bought this to review with my 2nd grader and it's been great!

great learning book

My son is learning to read. This book is a great tool in assisting him to reach his goal. We begin every lesson by repeating words in groups on the first page, and then do a couple of pages of tasks. The reading sessions are 20-30 minutes, so it is not overwhelming for him and not boring for me. In addition, we usually do several pages of problems from the World Almanac for Kids 1st Grade. My son enjoys learning with these two books, and I would recommend them to anyone. UPDATE: We are now half way through the book and my son is reading paragraphs in the book on his own! He is reading follow up questions also and then writes in answers by choosing words from the "word box". I am amazed. Yesterday at the playgrownd he asked if he could take off his socks. I told him to go to the rules poster and read the rule #4. He read "Socks must be worn at all times." I am very proud of him, and I credit this book for helping to keep my son interested in learning to read and for giving me the tools to teach him.

Great book

This is what my daughter needed. One of my girls has just flat out rejected reading. She says it's too hard. She can't do it. She doesn't want to do it. On and on it goes. She excels in hearly every other area, but for whatever reason, reading hasn't come easy to her. Flashcards don't work for her, because she just memorizes the order of the 30 cards, knows all the words, without reading them. Shuffle the cards and it becomes a fight and she struggles. Now, we come to this book. Of course, she fought it at first, but when I had her listen to the instructions and she saw that it starts simple with concepts she can easily grasp, she was on board. She doesn't have to be forced to work through the book. She asks to work through the book. She enjoys it and she completes tasks that have her identify words. It's very basic, but it's a beginning and gives her a fantastic sense of accomplishment. She needed encouragement and this book, with some patience on our part, has provided it. I'm so thankful for this book. "Homework" with my daughter hasn't been a fight. It's been easy and rewarding with this book as we prepare for First Grade. I trust that this positive reinforcement will help us as we head into the school. Update: My daughter is now reading and is excited by reading. Of course, a great deal of the thanks goes to her mother and her first grade teacher working with her over the last few months, but it started with this book.

Grandkids love this

Handy for your children, to get along with school

Although the words themselves are right on, the activities are quite simple and limited. You finish them rather quickly, and there aren't enough to ensure mastery.

Molto carino il libro, fatto bene. Utile per studiare l'inglese alle elementari

Very good and helpful for my child's to improve reading.

Genial!! Es estupendo para los chicos. Soy maestra de inglés y me parece un muy buen nivel. Muy buen estado

Short n sweet comprehensions and related activities on each page that keeps the child going on for more :)
