Bob Books - Advancing Beginners Box Set of 12 Paperbacks | Decodable Phonics Books, Ages 4 and up, Kindergarten (Stage 2: Emerging Reader)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ 4.7 out of 5 stars Building Confident Little Readers, One Hilarious Story at a Time! "Bob Books Set 2-Advancing Beginners" is a fantastic follow-up to the beloved Bob Books series, and it’s a real game-changer for budding readers. This set of twelve delightful books continues to build essential reading skills, using three-letter words and consistent vowel sounds to create slightly longer stories that boost confidence and keep young readers engaged. One of the standout features of this set is the use of simple yet captivating illustrations. The pictures are not only fun and entertaining but also support the text, making it easier for children to decode and understand the stories. Each book is filled with hilarious and sometimes mischievous tales that keep even the youngest readers hooked. Who knew advancing reading skills could be this much fun? The stories are short and sweet, perfect for those with a budding attention span. Each one packs in drama, fun, and a dash of surprise, ensuring that interest levels stay high. As a teacher and a parent, I appreciate how these books strike the perfect balance between simplicity and engagement. They are ideal for children who are ready to take their reading skills to the next level without feeling overwhelmed. Why a 4.7 and not a perfect 5? Well, while the simplicity is fantastic for new readers, a few more complex words here and there could help bridge the gap to the next reading level. However, this is a minor suggestion in an otherwise excellent series. In conclusion, "Bob Books Set 2-Advancing Beginners" is a must-have for any child's bookshelf. These books are a wonderful tool for building reading skills and confidence, all while keeping young readers thoroughly entertained. So, if you want to see your little one’s eyes light up with each turn of the page, this set is a fantastic investment. Happy reading!

Excellent product that I bought for my granddaughter, and she loves it.

My great granddaughter is learning to read, the books help her to sound out words. They have helped her develop her skills

I've used Bob Books for both of my kiddos and it is truly a staple in the reading world. If you have a beginner reader or struggling reader, these will not fail you. My two boys were totally opposite. One struggled which is why I began this journey and it helped boost his confidence as he leveled up through their structured reading sets. Starting my second son with the books began wonderfully and it didn't end bad at all. He is just super precocious so he began flying through the books. If you have a child like my second and you've purchased all the sets, make it fun. Do some comprehension activities and have him/her read to a relative as I did. We went deep into retelling based on illustrations which works just as well for your struggling readers. The illustrations are clear enough to aid each child as they sound out the words on the page. Each book includes a set of vocabulary words and really works you through proper reading channels.

my 5 year old is so happy when he can finish a book. the method is amazing to go along with kinder and 1st grade curriculum. short and sweet book with funny little characters that are recurrent throughout the series. there is no "noise" (not too many colors, not too many characters, not too many things happening, which for a kid learning to read is great, because it lets them focus and predict what the which page is about. Plus, lots of sight words!

Twelve books for my daughter to continue learning to read, the first set has already been read, and let's go for more.

My 4 year old granddaughter is enjoying these books since she can read them in her own. My only remark is that out of the set of 12 we missed the 3rd book and got two of the 2nd. So she’ll miss out on practicing the vowel in that book. Aside from that, I’m going to get the next set as well.

My daughter wasn't getting good reading instruction at school. She had been taught to guess based on the pictures and other dubious strategies. When I had to teach her myself because of the pandemic, we switched to these and a phonics workbook. The workbook went out the window, but the Bob books stayed. They're easy for stressed parents to teach from. They start with about three sounds and slowly build from there, so they build confidence. The books are interesting enough for my six year old and mildly funny, which is a miracle for books that start with three sounds. I'm really grateful these exist, frankly, because I think they've been a crucial and successful intervention for my daughter's reading skills.

I love Bob books. They have been a great tool in teaching my children how to read in English.

Saw a friend’s toddler reading it and decided to get for my own 4 year old. Content seems good and quite interesting. Hope it boosts his reading.

we purchased this because the first set was so good, this is a great follow up and our daughter loves to read the BOB books

My son was a voracious beginner reader and school dont give him enough practice reading so we’ve been buying anything we can. These are fairly cheap and tacky but we’re after quantity not quality. Now he’s developed enough to be reading the doctor Seuss books but these were a great little cheap and cheerful stepping stone to build his confidence and now his little brother can use them while he’s learning too.

Received books in perfect condition and on time. Must for early begginers
