Sweet & Shorts!: Short "Stories" Made of 100 Important Sight Words a First Grader Should Know. Diana R Pena

Some children may find learning to recognize words by using flash cards a little unexciting. We decided to try to make learning basic words a bit more enjoyable. What if we were to take 100 of the most commonly used "flash card words" in the English language and make a book using only these, and each word was used just ONCE? The result would be Sweet & Shorts! Featuring words that would typically be learned by the First Grade, this book is designed to encourage your kindergartner or first grader to start reading. Fun and colorful illustrations aid comprehension of the written "sight words". BONUS: to help your homeschool or public/private school child with their composition skills, the book provides the 100 words for you to cut out and have him or her arrange into their own sentences! We hope this book provides a fun way to teach your child and encourages them to read further.
