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

World of Eric Carle: My First Sight Words Box, a twelve-book boxed set, is just right for young, emergent readers. Sight words, or "high-frequency words," are words that frequently appear in written text. The more easily young children are able to recognise each word, the more fluently they can read and comprehend.

With the recognisable 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: My First Sight Words Box 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.
