Bob Books - Word Families Box Set of 8 Paperbacks | Decodable Phonics Books, Ages 4 and up, Kindergarten, First Grade (Stage 3: Developing Reader)

All 4 sets have been great. I would recommend to start with 1 as the first set of books for your children to help them learn how to read

A good set of beginning reader type books but I prefer the read write inc set as it has a more systematic approach in helping kids (3-4 yo) with reading by phonics.

Excellent set of books for my kid who got initiated to reading. We find the books very useful and our kid just loves to read them. Very well thought out books. Strongly recommend to kids as they find the simple sentences interesting and confidence boosting. It is money's worth when you see the happiness in the kid's face as each book is completed.

Je ne suis jamais déçue des Bob Books. Mon fils de 5 ans les utilisent depuis ses 3 ans et ils consolident sa lecture et maintenant il est fluide.

I have a 4 year old who is in preschool. I wanted to supplement and encourage reading at home. I started with the Bob series. I purchased the first set of Bob books. I like the Bob books because each page had 7-8 word sentences. It's not overwhelming for first readers. I read and underlined with my fingers every word on a page. Then it was my child's turn to read the page. He practiced reading the page over and over. I pulled out the vocabulary words from each page and made 3X5 flash cards. We took a page at a time to review the words. We also practice spelling the word. Then he had to makeup a sentence using the new word. We took our time to read and practice every page. It took 1-2 weeks to complete the first book. Each book set had 3 levels and 5 books per level. I also purchased the BOB Workbooks which are very comprehensive. In today's times parents, grandparents and caregivers are the first line of teachers not the school system.

We love the bob books series for our kindergartner, who is learning to read small words. The books are cute and come in suitable sizes for a pre-schooler/ kindergarten children to read and practice their vocabulary.

I'm an American with a Japanese life and my 7 year old son was born and raised here in Japan. I've bought a lot of English study materials, and the Bob Book series has been uniformly excellent in every way. 100% recommend. Note that my kid at least wasn't self-directed enough to study by himself, except a few days he sat down to read the Bob Books. Instead, we had a mini "English Class" about an hour a day and worked through this material.
