Product Description
The Bob Books boxed set that started it all! This iconic phonics-based learn-to-read set has sold millions of copies, allowing children around the world to say with pride, “I read the whole book!”®
Many early reader books contain words that are too difficult for a child who has just learned the sounds of the alphabet. Not these books! With only four letter sounds in the first story (M, A, T, and S), children can read a whole book and their confidence grows. Kids love the stories and funny pictures, and can’t wait to read these books to everyone they know!
Inside the box you’ll find: 12 easy-to-read, hilarious small books; 12 pages each; 7-20 unique words per book Two- and three-letter words with short vowels that can be decoded or “sounded out” (on, sat, can, ran) Very simple sentences (Sam sat.) Very limited sight words New letter sounds added gradually across the books, until young readers have read books with all letters of the alphabet (except Q) Friendly, two-color illustrations that add fun and do not distract from the words A parent card with tips for helping your child learn to read
Guided Reading Levels: A, B, C | Lexile® Measure: BR – 290L | Bob Books Level: Stage 1
Ages: 4-6 | Grade Levels: PreK, Kindergarten
Created by a teacher and grounded in the Science of Reading, Bob Books has been helping children learn to read through simple phonics; playful text and illustrations; and an emphasis on building young readers’ confidence, success, and love of reading for more than forty years. Your child will soon join the millions of happy kids who say, “I read the whole book!”®
From the Author
You’ve prepared your child for reading – refrigerator magnets down low and easy to reach; letter sounds taught. Your child can proudly spell his or her name. Perhaps he can identify the “stop” and “open” signs as you drive in your car. He or she is ready for the next step into reading.
Inside the colorful box, the bright red cover beckons. On the first page, the letters:
M – a – t. Your child says the sounds: mmmmm, aaa, ttt. Then, faster: “Mat.” Your youngster has read his first word! “Sam”, “sat” and “on” complete the vocabulary, and suddenly your child can say, “I read the whole book!”® That is the magic of Bob Books®.
After 13 years of teaching 3, 4 and 5-year-olds, watching a child make that giant first step into reading still thrills me. The pride in their eyes, their triumphant grasp of a difficult concept, and opening their world to the excitement of books and reading, has brought me many years of satisfaction.
Bob Books® were specifically designed to facilitate that ah-ha moment, when letters first turn into words. By slowly introducing new letter sounds, using consistency and repetition, and stories that fit short attention spans, your child will quickly find his or her own ah-ha moment.
We wish your young learner much success and happiness as he or she enters the great adventure of reading.
