World of Eric Carle: My First Sight Words Box: 12 Books for Beginning Readers (Paperback)

This sight words box of twelve books is perfect for young fans of Eric Carle!

The World of Eric Carle meets sight words in this twelve-book boxed set just right for young, emergent readers. Sight words, or "high-frequency words," are words that appear often in written text. The more easily that young children are able to recognize each word, the more fluently they are able to read and comprehend. With the recognizable and timeless illustrations Eric Carle is known for, this set is sure to appeal to families who are ready to introduce sight words, or those looking for a collection of quick, simple stories!

World of Eric Carle has partnered with educational consultant Wiley Blevins, who brings his thirty-plus years of curriculum and educational expertise to each book created for this boxed set.
