You've prepared your child for reading - refrigerator magnets down low and easy to reach; letter sounds taught. Your child can proudly spell his or her name. Perhaps he can identify the "stop" and "open" signs as you drive in your car. He or she is ready for the next step into reading.

Inside the colorful box, the bright red cover beckons. On the first page, the letters:
M - a - t. Your child says the sounds: mmmmm, aaa, ttt. Then, faster: "Mat." Your youngster has read his first word! "Sam", "sat" and "on" complete the vocabulary, and suddenly your child can say, "I read the whole book!(tm)" That is the magic of Bob Books.

After 13 years of teaching 3, 4 and 5-year-olds, watching a child make that giant first step into reading still thrills me. The pride in their eyes, their triumphant grasp of a difficult concept, and opening their world to the excitement of books and reading, has brought me many years of satisfaction.

Bob Books were specifically designed to facilitate that ah-ha moment, when letters first turn into words. By slowly introducing new letter sounds, using consistency and repetition, and stories that fit short attention spans, your child will quickly find his or her own ah-ha moment.

We wish your young learner much success and happiness as he or she enters the great adventure of reading.

The perfect way to teach reading
I am on my third child teaching them with Bob books. I have taught all three to read before they entered kindergarten. Best thing I ever did. My older two are quite a bit older and are in the top reading groups. My oldest is in an entire grade above in reading level. It is a great gift to have your kids enter school at the top of their class. Bob books pace kids perfectly. This book is a bit longer sentences, sometimes more than one sentence per page. Perfect. I can't say enough about these books. I would reccommend using them just as they are,in order, without skipping. THey are reasonably priced and it's worth the money to have your kid have strong reading skills forever more.

Bob Books are the Best Beginning Reader Books
I have used Bob Books in teaching 3 of my kids to read so far and they are excellent. They really give kids a sense of accomplishment because they are simple and do-able. Many other "beginning" readers are far too hard for true beginners and thus frustrate the early reader. I have found nothing as simple and easy as the Bob Books for that first step into reading. I highly recommend them!

Highly Recommend
My daughter has been reading words for a few months, all short vowels, and we started with the Bob Books set 1 and she loved them. We were ready to continue reading but werent ready for so many new challenges. My daughter loves this set because it stays true to the short vowel reading she knows and includes some new things such as 's and !. We continue to like the fact that it is a shorter book and is able to give her a sense of accomplishment and it doesnt give away the words in the pictures that some books do. This is just the right step for that new reader and mastering the short vowels.
