Product description
Created by a teacher, Bob Books have been helping children learn
to read for more than 40 years.
This boxset gives children who are just beginning to read practice
with their early phonics skills, setting them up for success
on their reading journeys!
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 boxset 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 the box you’ll find:
12 small, hilarious, easy-to-read books; 12 pages each;
14-25 unique words per book, sized perfectly for little hands
A parent guide with tips for helping your child learn
to read
Each book includes:
Decodable text: Two- and three-letter words with short
vowels that can be sounded out (in, hop, hat, bus)
Very simple sentences (Bud has a box.)
Very limited sight words
Friendly, simple illustrations that add fun and do not
distract from the words
Guided Reading Levels: B, C | Lexile® Measure: 0 – 130L | Bob
Books Level: Stage 1 | Ages: 4-6
ABOUT BOB BOOKS
Bob Books is America’s no.1, award-winning, learning-to-read
series trusted for over 40 years.
Bob Books is a true first reader series, designed to make
helping children learn to read simple and straightforward. The
clean layout, short words, and simple phonics make learning to read
a fun and natural step for a child that knows the alphabet. Companion
workbooks extend children’s reading journey by allowing
them to practice the skills learned in the books.
Bob Books is designed to give young children the tools
to cross from learning letters to reading words. The award-winning
beginning reader book sets start slowly and progress from books
with three letter words, to books with more than one sentence per
page. By meeting children at the right level, parents are often
amazed at how quickly their child is able to sound out words when
reading their first Bob Book.
Bob Books covers four reading stages…
Pre-Readings Skills Recognize shapes, patterns, and other
pre-reading skills
Stage 1: Starting to Read From learning the alphabet to
sounding out your first words
Stage 2: Emerging Readers Sentences become longer and
sight words are introduced
Stage 3: Developing Readers Words and sentences become
longer, and new rules are introduced
