ABOUT BOB BOOKS

Bob Books is America’s no.1, award-winning, learning-to-read
series trusted for over 40 years.

Bob Books is a true first reader series, designed to make
helping children learn to read simple and straightforward. The
clean layout, short words, and simple phonics make learning to read
a fun and natural step for a child that knows the alphabet. Companion
workbooks extend children’s reading journey by allowing
them to practice the skills learned in the books.

Bob Books is designed to give young children the tools
to cross from learning letters to reading words. The award-winning
beginning reader book sets start slowly and progress from books
with three letter words, to books with more than one sentence per
page. By meeting children at the right level, parents are often
amazed at how quickly their child is able to sound out words when
reading their first Bob Book.

Bob Books covers four reading stages…

Pre-Readings Skills Recognize shapes, patterns, and other
pre-reading skills

Stage 1: Starting to Read From learning the alphabet to
sounding out your first words

Stage 2: Emerging Readers Sentences become longer and
sight words are introduced

Stage 3: Developing Readers Words and sentences become
longer, and new rules are introduced
