Bob Books Set 3- Word Families Paperback – April 1, 2006

My daughter was struggling to read at her expected level. Her teacher recommended these books and they helped tremendously! The short rhymes and cute stories helped her build confidence in reading and she now at her level of reading in school!

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.

My daughter was really struggling and I bought this books to see if they would help. She started reading really good. These books are amazing and I highly recommend. I also love that they come in a box to keep them protected.

I buy set one for all of my preschool students. As they read through the set, I send the books home. The kids love to have books they can read to their families. It keeps them motivated to get the next box. This particular set touches on an important aspect of reading. I have ordered several BOB sets over the years and plan to continue ordering these wonderful books in the future. (I will note that I teach phonetic reading not by sight.) However, if you have a sight reader these sets work just fine. In fact there is a Sight Words set. The stories are cute too. It is a challenge to find books at this level with an actual story to them.

The media could not be loaded. These sets, starting with set 1, are great for kids learning to read, or those who have a lot of difficulty reading. If you start at the beginning with set 1, each story builds gradually, so gradually that kids will be reading a whole book and wanting another instead of dreading reading. This set comes with two activity books which could be photocopied to use with multiple kids. The activities include matching the correct word, coloring, and drawing.

Bob Books have been a lifesaver for my 8-year-old who struggles with reading. The short sentences and repetitive words are a perfect formula for kids learning to read. The simplicity of these books has made a significant difference in my son's reading journey. If you have an early reader at home, these books are a fantastic resource—highly recommended for building confidence and skills!
