Review: Great Beginner Books! - As a teacher, I absolutely love the Bob Books – Animal Stories Box Set for young readers! This set is a fantastic collection of decodable phonics books that make early reading practice meaningful and confidence-building. Each story is carefully leveled so that kids can practice specific phonics skills — which is exactly what we strive for in Kindergarten and early literacy instruction. The animal-themed stories are engaging and fun, so students are excited to read them independently. I’ve used these in small groups, literacy centers, and one-on-one interventions, and they work beautifully in all settings. Since the text is simple and predictable, emergent readers actually read the words (not guess them), which builds fluency and accuracy. Over the course of using these books, I’ve seen my students gain confidence and reading stamina. Overall, this set is a must-have for teachers who want high-quality, decodable practice — especially for students who are ready to make that leap from letter sounds to real reading. Highly recommended!
Review: Reasonably priced and easy to follow the progressions. - Bob Books are great. This is the third product I have purchased from the brand. They help build confidence and make it fun to learn phonics, sight words and word families. I plan to continue to purchase other items from this system.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Beginner Books
*by V***G on August 22, 2020*

I am a high school teacher. When my first was little, I tried some other phonics books. They didn't work until my kid was already reading pretty proficiently. With my next child I tried Bob Books because they were recommended by my peers. These are so much better. They are layed out in a very methodical, step by step way. My child reads them with help at first, but is able to sound out every word. (with only one or two sight words in this set like "the") It makes so much more sense. You must reread each of these books at 3 or more times before moving on. You can then go back and periodically reread them. They are very short, so it does not take up much time. It will also give your child confidence and develop reading fluency. Reading should't always feel difficult. We have enjoyed some of the stories which have humor perfect for the age group. The drawings of people do look a bit silly, but they are working in shapes and numbers into the books. We are almost finished with this set, so I bought the rhyming set as well. There is a workbook that goes along with this. I don't think you will need to buy all of the sets, but I think following what is in the workbook is probably best. My child is focusing on begining word sounds, and sometimes tries to guess at the ending unless slowed down. The rhyming words should help focus on the ending sounds as well. We are excited to try the next set! I wish there was more of a focus on decoding at a young age. In order to be proficient readers, kids need to be very good at decoding. These books will help build that foundation. Where I live they stop all phonics instruction at 3rd grade. It is so important for parents to work with their children at home one on one. Nothing can replace that one on one time learning to read no matter what your child's school says.
