Once early readers have mastered reading our CVC Word series of eBooks they can progress to the CVC & Sight Words Emergent Readers collection, where eBooks progress from 2 words to full sentences that include both CVC and sight words. Sight words are words that appear frequently in texts, words like “and, am, see, one, the, it, is, I, he, she, we, my,” and many more. There are about 100 sight words in the English language, and when children identify them by sight they can read much more fluently and fluidly which is why this series was developed. Our eBooks display words with an audio button on one page and a picture on the facing page, giving young readers a comprehensive reading experience. The audio button allows young readers to hear the words read together, and they can also click on individual words to hear them read separately.
What's Included
  • CVC Words
  • Sight Words - a, am, and, can, he, I, is, it, my, one, see, she, the, we
  • eBooks with 2, 3 & 4 word sentences
