ABOUT BOBS 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.

Bob Books is designed to give young children the tools to cross from learning letters to reading words. Our 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. Because we meet 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
