Customer Reviews

LOVE BOB BOOKS!

These are my childs favorite reading books. She's five and asked for sets 4 and 5 for Christmas. Very well put together. It uses repetition for sounds and word groups. Good short sentences that aren't insulting to age level. Much more than "See the cat." The pictures are good in that they don't give away the sentences...the child still has to READ the words.

Bob Books are excellent!

Bob Books Set 1-Beginning ReadersI purchased sets 1 through 5 for my Kindergartener, and he loved them! It has helped to build his confidence in reading. The illustrations are simple. The sentences are simple. The stories provide adequate word recognition reinforcement, and then a slight challenge toward the end of the book. Once my son started with set 1, he could not put the books down. I would recommend these books to anyone for their children who are starting to read!

Great for learning Word familes

I have been using the Bob books for one of my studens last 7 months. He loves them. For children who have challenge to learn reading, the Bob books are perfect. Their very simple stories are not intimidating, but give just right amount of new challenge to move up. In this set 3, there are two activities books to review and enforce comprehension of all previous stories through fun activities.

Simple, layered, structured fun

great sets for home...my K-G son took these in small doses (2 to 3 times a week) and got thru the first three sets in a few months...when he starts on a new set he likes to go back to the old set and see how fast and mistake free he can read the older sets...looking forward to the 4th set...

Awesome books to teach children to read

This set of books (all five volumes) are just plan awesome. My kindergartner is having a much easier time with her reading since we started these books. I recomend these to anyone with a child learning to read.
