I purchased the Bob Books to use for practice while teaching from The Reading Lesson: Teach Your Child to Read in 20 Easy Lessons. Too many "first readers" and level one readers use non decodable words, therefore frustrating those just beginning to read.They are an excellent supplement, and my son is excited by his accomplishment of reading entire books by himself.
My daughter is four and she loves these books. She enjoys having them read to her and she tries to read the words herself. I highly recommend them.
These books are just what a little one needs when he is starting out. Yes these books are simple but that is what they are supposed to be. He has been making great practice and loves them. My little 4 year old had no interest in reading. He loves these the simple pictures and words in the set. We went from fighting to even read a story, to him getting them out himself to practice. This is a wonderful set of books for parents that want to give there little ones a boost in reading or the homeschooling mom that needs a start.
I love these books. They are written in a way that encourages reading and helps the child feel successful. My daughter started reading these books as soon as she she turned 4. My daughter loves reading the stories and even enjoys the pictures. As an elementary school teacher I recommend them. Of course I still read my daughter books by great authors but these books are for her to read and that's why they are so great.
We own 3 sets, but with my 3 readers, I have not used much of set 2 or 3. These books are not completely intriguing, but they are better than any other controlled vocab readers I have come across. Set 1 was invaluable, though. First, they are small and manageable, so they don't overwhelm the new reader. Second, they are a little funny and have made some attempt at humor with that very small controlled vocab. After set one, children are ready to try books that aren't vocab controlled, and enjoy reading. I highly recommend this product.
