Why We Love BOB Books for Emerging Readers

5 reasons why "Bob Books" are a great resource when kids are just learning to read.

• Bob Books take a step-by-step approach to learning to read by focusing each set on a specific stage in the learning to read process.

• The illustrations are very simple line drawings  with silly characters and simple story lines that my kiddos really liked.

• Each set of books has 8-12 books and each book is numbered. So, you start with Book 1 and work your way through the set. Children love the feeling of achievement that comes with accomplishing each new book. 

• Each set focuses on a few key reading concepts. Throughout the set, each book uses repetition to build mastery of that concept before moving on to another set of concepts in the next set.

• Each book set gets a bit longer and adds a little more complexity – so building up reading stamina is achieved little by little. It’s a great way to pace each new phase of reading for kids. Kids go from reading a book in 5 minutes to longer stories that may take 10-15 minutes.
