Description

Created by a teacher, Bob Books have been helping children learn to read for more than forty years! This set gives a beginning reader practice with basic phonics skills, setting them up for a successful reading journey. Now in a sturdy hardcover bind-up!

With playful stories, silly illustrations, and a phonics approach based on Science of Reading research, Bob Books keep young readers' confidence high, leading to continued success and a love of reading. Your child will soon join the millions of happy kids who say, "I read the whole book!"®

Science of Reading research proves that mastering phonics is key to a child's success in learning to read. Like all Stage 1 Bob Books, these 12 storybooks feature simple words with consistent short vowel sounds. Early readers get lots of practice with foundational phonics skills while giggling at the playful stories and pictures!

This collection is perfect for children who have never read Bob Books, or for children who have read Bob Books Beginning Readers or Bob Books More Beginning Readers and need more practice before moving on.

Inside this sturdy hardcover you'll find:

  • 12 easy-to-read, hilarious stories: 12 pages each, 14-25 unique words per story
  • A parent guide with tips for helping your child learn to read

Each story includes:

  • Decodable text: Two- and three-letter words with short vowels that can be sounded out (cat, it, not, up)
  • Very simple sentences (Sam has a pen.)
  • Very limited sight words (a, of, the)
  • Friendly, simple illustrations that add fun and do not distract from the words
