Free robot books for early readers

It’s time for a new set of emergent readers! This week I’m sharing free robot books.

It’s been a few months since I shared added a set of books to my free sight word reader collection.  It’s time to get back into a routine of sharing a new set twice a month!  This set of robot books features the sight words “this” and “do.”

I began sharing these little sight word books soon after I began this blog over two years ago.  I wasn’t finding the simple little books that I needed to teach my oldest son to read. The library didn’t have them, and they cost at least $4 a piece if I were to order them.

Teaching him to read with my own little books has been both a joy and a success. He’s now entering first grade as a fluent reader who devours both picture and chapter books alike.

Now I’m spending a lot of reading time with his younger brother.  Our middle son just turned five and will be entering kindergarten in the fall. Thanks to many of my free phonics printables, he can sound out 3-letter words pretty easily.  And thanks to these little readers (116 at last count), he has quite a sight word vocabulary!

It took some time to find just the right clip art and stories to tell, but after a few months of thinking about it, I’m really happy with how these robot books turned out!  In the set you’ll find four new sight word readers:

• Robots Feed My Pets
• Robots Go Camping
• Robots Get Lunch
• Is This My Robot?

Let’s take a peek!

In each book, you’ll find previously learned sight words, new sight words, words kids can figure out with context and picture clues, and words they may be able to figure out using their phonics knowledge.  I’ll show you what I mean with each page of this book.

• previously learned sight words: see, my, I, to
• words that can be read using phonics knowledge: pets, help, need, feed, them
  
• previously learned sight words: my, can, it
• new sight words: this, do
• words that can be read using picture and context clues: who, robot
• words that can be read using phonics knowledge: will, feed, fish

• previously learned sight words: the, for, can
• new sight words: this, do
• words that can be read using picture and context clues: who, robot
• words that can be read using phonics knowledge: will, fill, dish, cat

• previously learned sight words: the, a, can, it
• new sight words: this, do
• words that can be read using picture and context clues: who, robot
• words that can be read using phonics knowledge: bone, will, get

• previously learned sight words: my, little, it
• new sight words: this, do
• words that can be read using picture and context clues: who, rabbit, robot
• words that can be read using phonics knowledge: will, feed

• previously learned sight words: my, not, it
• new sight words: do
• words that can be read using picture and context clues: snake,
• words that can be read using phonics knowledge: but, feed, will

Of course, every child is different. Some kids will be able to sound out “feed,” while others figure it out with the context. Some children will understand the silent e pattern and be able to read “snake” with or without the picture clue.

Remember that by this stage of my readers, your child should be doing regular phonics practice as well. My corresponding free phonics books are just the thing!

How to assemble:

(for a video tutorial, see this page)
