Plus Teaching Guide

Description:

Many early readers contain words that are too difficult for a child who has just learned the sounds of the alphabet. Not these books! Using only the letters M, A, T and S, children can read their first book. Kids love the stories and funny pictures, and can't wait to read them to everybody they know.

This is our bestselling first reader, introduced 35 years ago and used by millions of children. If your child knows the alphabet, Bob Books Set 1 is the book to start them on the path to reading.

Inside the box you'll find:

  • 12 easy-to-read books, 12 pages each
  • Consistent sounds. All letters (except Q) introduced gradually in this set.
  • Books with only two and three letter words
  • All words can be 'sounded out' (phonics based)
  • Each book introduces a few new letters
  • Limited sight words
  • 7 to 20 words per book

    About Bob Books

    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...

    • Reading Readiness (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
