Bob Books - Set 1: Beginning Readers Box Set | Phonics, Ages 4 and up, Kindergarten (Stage 1: Starting to Read) (Multiple copy pack)
Description
The Bob Books boxed set that started it all! This iconic phonics-based learn-to-read set has sold millions of copies, allowing children around the world to say with pride, “I read the whole book!”®
Many early reader books contain words that are too difficult for a child who has just learned the sounds of the alphabet. Not these books! With only four letter sounds in the first story (M, A, T, and S), children can read a whole book and their confidence grows. Kids love the stories and funny pictures, and can’t wait to read these books to everyone they know!
Inside the box you’ll find:
- 12 easy-to-read, hilarious small books; 12 pages each; 7-20 unique words per book
- Two- and three-letter words with short vowels that can be decoded or "sounded out" (on, sat, can, ran)
- Very simple sentences (Sam sat.)
- Very limited sight words
- New letter sounds added gradually across the books, until young readers have read books with all letters of the alphabet (except Q)
- Friendly, two-color illustrations that add fun and do not distract from the words
- A parent card with tips for helping your child learn to read
