using Bob Books and At Last! A Reading Method for Every Child

From my post on how my K5-son learned to read:

Though Pecci did not recommend the Bob Books, I think they were a good start. At first, very phonics based - only words you could sound out. Then as we progressed there got to be more and more sight words as well as the opportunity to use the "sight families" we were learning from the At Last! book. I made some sheets that would help us with each Bob Book. The sheet contained a review of sight families we had learned in the previous book, an introduction to sight families to be encountered in the current book as well as review/intro of any sight words we were to encounter. We would go over this sheet together before reading each book. When he finished the book, he got to choose a sticker for the sheet and put it in his English Language Notebook.

Apparently, I didn't make the companion sheets until we were in the second set of Bob Books. Here are the links to the sheets that I did make:

Summer - Set B1 - Book 5
Kittens - Set B1 - Book 6
Funny Bunny - Set B1 - Book 7
Bed Bugs - Set B1 - Book 8
