These colorful flashcards are the perfect companion to the Bob Books Stage 1 box sets, but can be enjoyed by any child who is just beginning to read. All words in the set are three-letter words with short vowels.

The Science of Reading shows that young readers need to encounter letters, sounds, and words many times to build automaticity — the ability to read quickly, accurately, and effortlessly. This flashcard set is a fun way to help build reading automaticity at home or on the go!

Inside the box, you’ll find:

• 40 Decodable Word Flashcards with picture on one side and word on the other. Every word has only three letters, including one short vowel (sat, can, vet)

• 6 Activity Cards with flashcard game ideas and other fun activities
• 1 Parent Card with tips for helping your child build skills through flashcard play
