Bob Books - Set 1: Beginning Readers Box Set Phonics, Ages 4 and Up, Kindergarten (Stage 1: Starting to Read)

This book is really good for kids above 3.5 years old. I bought this book late. Book includes simple 3-4 words. Very short sentence which a kid could easily read and understand. Short stories of 5-6 pages. Box includes 12 levels i.e 12 books. I am giving this review after 2 months. My daughter is 4 years old but she could now easily read these books on her own and now she loves reading. Wherever she finds a word she tries reading it eg. On paper or any wrapper or on her books. She starts jumping when she is able to read word correctly. Thank you for this lovely book. Really helpful

It is a set of 12 small books with good pictures. The price is bit high but its worth it for a good start to make kids read. It helped my 4year kid to start reading.

This set is great for beginner readers. My 5 yr old son just started reading few words following phonics rule and this series is amazing for him. He loves reading these books. I can see so much happiness and satisfactions on his face, when he feel he can read too. Books are very well designed for beginner readers. I wish the set 2 was available in paperback. Eagerly waiting for it.

I wanted to develope my 4yr olds reading skills. When I was looking at you tube videos about it, I discovered Bob books. Luckily I was able to find it on Amazon but looking at the Price I was skeptical to Invest. Trusting the reviews I bought it. It comes in a neat blue box with a set of 12 thin books. Very simple illustration with Pics. It introduces small 3 letter words and progress with each book. It also has a small guideline tip on how to engage kids. Overall I am so happy with it. This box was delivered to me on Dec 27 and today Jan 30 he can read 10 of these books on his own. Please note that I did not hurry and hardly just spent 15 to 30 mins excluding all the holidays in between. Still there is good progress. But make sure your kid is already introduced to phonemes (check You tube) It's really good investment.

My son was at Grade I and was not attempting to read. When the other kids at his class was reading he was mentioning that he dont know to read. Though i encouraged him to learn,somehow he was mentioning that he dont know and he cant. Then after some research I came to know about the Bob books and decided to buy. I found it pricey and finally decided to give it a try. They are set of 12 small books and extremely simple. But when he finished the first book completely he was so proud that he could read and gained the confidence. He was reading next set of books to my mom and we encouraged him that he was able to read a full book all by himself and he was very happy. He finished the first set of books and I did bought next two sets as well :) Now he is still learning the complex words, but this Bob books helped him to get the confidence that he can read :)

My child started his journey of reading through Bob books and he finds it very interesting. It has helped him in reading the words and sentences much faster and easily then he used to.

My daughter loves reading these books and gathering new words. New words presented for that age in a very nice way

Bob books is a time tested tool to aide children learn reading at an early age. I am trying them on my 5 years old and have seen improvement.

I got this book set for my 5-year-old who is just starting to learn how to read, and it’s already proving to be a valuable addition. Although we just received them yesterday, she managed to finish one book and absolutely loved it! We were thrilled to see her read it all by herself, which really boosted her confidence. The simple, engaging stories make it perfect for taking those first baby steps in reading. Looking forward to seeing her progress through the rest of the set!

These books are great! My son loves them. They gradually get more difficult and the difficultly jump between each book is just right for skill building without them getting too difficult too fast.

In love!!! My 4 year old is 20% done his reading lessons from Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons (highly recommend, check out the reviews!) and can already read the first two Bob books of this set with ease! This Bob set goes along well with the first few lessons of TYCTR as it only uses the same letter sounds as we have learned so far. After tonight's lesson, he will likely be able to read the third book! They are short, silly and just enough to make your child feel accomplished after reading their (possibly, first) whole book. The start with just a few letter sounds and slowly build on and use more letters. Our reading lessons use orthography (using the alphabet along with symbols) and my son has had no problem transitioning from orthographic reading to normal spelling. My son now loves to tell people he can read books! The illustrations go along with exactly what they're reading, making it so the child doesn't just read the word but will comprehend what they are reading as well, making it more enjoyable and easier to understand what words are being read. I bought Set 2 at the same time and am so glad I did; I can't wait to get more! Another positive, I never thought of before purchasing, is the size of the books. They are a perfect size for travelling or keeping in my purse so he can read if we are out and need to kill some time (say, waiting at dentist or doctors office). The box is also handy to keep all 10 books in, as I'm sure they wouldn't stay a set for long without a designated box. It is most definitely worth the regular price, but the Amazon price along with free shipping over $25 purchase made this an even better purchase!

Nos los recomendó la profesora del cole que es escocesa para empezar a leer en casa en inglés. Son geniales!

A mi hijo y a mi esposa le encantaron. estoy muy satisfecho con mi compra
