    • Best Early Readers I Have Seen
These books are an incredible tool for teaching kids to read. I LOVE how they just introduce a few new letter sounds in each book, so kids don't have to master every letter sound in order to read the first book. Pure genius. It truly makes the whole process less overwhelming, and I'll always teach early reading this way in the future. I wish I had had them when teaching my first child to read. I am currently teaching my niece to read. Since this is my second time around, and since I've discovered these books, I feel like I have a pretty great system down. I am using this first set of Bob Books, a pack of index cards, a magnetic dry-erase board, and a set of magnetic letters. Because children can very easily memorize these books, without fully understanding how to sound out the words, I don't feel like using the books alone, with no other exercises, is sufficient to truly teach them to read (for example, my 3-year-old likes to memorize the books and pretend he is "reading"). So for my niece (age 6), we are moving through the books systematically, learning the letter sounds and words in each book. For each book, I make a set of customized flashcards, using words found in that book, plus other 3-letter, consonant-vowel-consonant words that are not found in the book, but use letter sounds found in the books that she has read already. We practice the books and flashcards separately, to make sure she is truly learning to sound out those words (and she is!). We also use a magnetic dry-erase board and a magnetic letter set to do different exercises. In one exercise we make a word with the magnetic letters, using letter sounds she has already mastered. She reads it, and then she can switch out various letters to make new words to read. Sometimes it's a real word, and sometimes a "nonsense word", which makes it fun for her. She also enjoys moving the magnetic letters around, so this makes reading more fun for her. This is a great way to reinforce, for example, that not every word that starts with "ca" is "cat". Switch out the "t" for an "n", and you have "can". It really helps her focus on how the individual letter sounds come together to make a whole word. I guess my point to all this is; these are great, wonderful books, and are perfect for what they are. But I don't consider them a complete system for teaching a child to read (and I don't think they claim to be that either). But they can form a huge part of a complete system, at least at the early stages. I don't have the other sets (set 2 and beyond), so I can't say yet if these would be sufficient for teaching more complex words, but I am, of course, prepared to supplement and adjust when we get to that point. I can say that, for these earliest stages, they were worth every penny I paid for them, and more. ... show more

    • Truly for beginners
Bought for my four year old. She has learned her letters and is learning how to sound out words. She has felt so confident reading these! It is challenging enough that she doesn’t get bored but easy enough that she stays confident.

    • Simplicity at its best
My granddaughters are enjoying these books and learning to read. The illustrations are simple and don’t distract from the whole purpose of these books which is the words and learning to read them.

    • Good for reading practice
My kid's teacher advised us to give more reading time to him as he needed help in reading independently. That's why we bought this set and it has been a hit since then :) My Son loves them and is eager to read whenever he sees them. Words are very basic which encourages kids to keep on going and finish the book and he cherished that milestone. He mentions this to his friends too and has been a great confidence booster. He has build bigger vocab of sight words now. We are buying the other sets now to keep his habit going. Only wish I has that books had few more pages or more lines to expose more content but that has nothing to do with quality of content. It's spot on. ... show more

    • A Must Have
I used these books to help my daughter learn how to read when she was 4 years old. Now, at the age of 8, she is a part of a gifted reading group that she attends once a week. I was so impressed with the results that I ordered more books for my 4-year-old son so he can get a head start on reading as well. I love the way these books are designed to make learning fun and engaging for children. Each book starts with one to two words per page and gradually increases the word count, which helps children remember how to string the words along. The books are repetitive and move slowly, ensuring that children grasp the meaning and sound of each word. Additionally, there is an illustration on each page that helps children visualize what is happening. With these books, you can teach any child how to read. ... show more

    • Great support for early readers or struggling readers.
I used these books to teach my kids to read early and now I am doing the same with my grandkids. The order of the letters, sounds and words are so easy for kids and parents to share together. The stories are cute and humorous. The stories can be kept and read over and over. This is my go to read together books that teach our youngest readers the basics of beginning reading. ... show more
