Product Description

Developed to guide your child gently through the earliest stages of reading, Bob Books were created to facilitate that ah-ha moment when letters first turn into words. By slowly introducing new letter sounds, using consistency, repetition and stories that fit short attention spans, your child will quickly find his or her way down the path of reading. Each level addresses a stage in reading development; this carefully crafted, simple, and progressive approach to learning assures children success and confidence from their very earliest reading experience. A natural progression from Bob Books Sets 1 and 2, in Set 3 kids encounter stories with longer endings; y, ed, and ing. Longer words with 4 or 5 letters can still be sounded out; repetition of sounds and words throughout the books really help children succeed as well. Sight words (listed in each book so you can point them out) become easier as children learn to anticipate words in the context of the story. Sentences are limited to one or two per page. 12 books, 12 pages each.

Publisher's Description

Created by a teacher, Bob Books have been helping children learn to read for more than fifty years! This phonics-based box set helps developing readers gently take the next step toward more complex stories.

Bob Books Word Families helps children progress gently beyond the very basics of learning to read. The books use mostly short vowels and plenty of repetition, but also introduce a few consonant blends and word endings such as -ed, along with longer words and sentences. The use of word families makes these longer stories more manageable for early readers, and the silly content keeps kids coming back for more!

Inside the box you'll find:

  • 8 small, hilarious, easy-to-read books: 16 pages each, 25-42 unique words per book, sized perfectly for little hands
  • 2 activity books to support the stories
  • A parent guide with tips for helping your child learn to read

Each book includes:

  • Word and sound repetition, which helps children decode the text
  • Use of word families (mop, flop; big, bigger)
  • Slightly longer sentences than previous sets (The frogs went under a log.)
  • A "review before reading" section at the front of each book
  • A word list at the back of each book
  • Friendly, simple illustrations that add fun and do not distract from the words

Guided Reading Levels: D, E, F | Lexile Measure: 70L - 310L | Bob Books Level: Stage 3

Ages: 4-6 | Grade Levels: PreK, Kindergarten
