Bob Books: Rhyming Words

We love the Bob books and are following them in the order on the back of the box. This one comes after the Level 2 books but seems to be about the same as far as difficulty goes. We love the BOB books because they have more words that or son can decode independently than the readers that he is bringing home from school. He is in Kindergarten and has been able to sound out 3 letter words with short vowel sounds and knows about 100 sight words (the, is, like, what,...) and this set in particular has been great for reinforcing and practicing. There are a few 4 letter words with blended consonants and he is able to navigate them. The level 1 or level 2 readers that he gets at school and the ones we have bought from the school book sales are FULL of big, non-phonetic words. I guess they figure that kids can generally guess what the big words are by looking at the pictures. I don't like that, though, because it encourages guessing instead of decoding.... so we much prefer these BOB books. This one comes with some cards for changing a word by changing the first letter. They are nice enough, but my son has been able to do that for a while (we just used fridge magnets) so they were too easy.

great books

Great book series that help early readers how to read!

I bought this whole set to help my kindergartener with his reading. He already does a great job reading so this is just reinforcement. The size of the books are perfect for little hands. Definitely recommend for new readers or early readers

My child is reading these every night and these books are a key piece to learning to read.

These books contain fun stories that are enjoyable for beginning readers.

Bob's books are certainly a go to product for earlier readers. My son managed to make it through kindergarten while completely missing the concept of rhymes. Bob's did all that they could. He still struggles ! These sets break down the concept with fun puzzles and decodeable short stories.

Simple illustration, great small books to take on the go and used at restaurants, while teaching kindergarten to read

My son struggled with rhyming words in grade one and the beginning of grade two. After I purchased this kit and started practicing at home, he was able to understand rhyming and catch up to his classmates.

We love the illustrations and the fun titles. Great for early leaders.

We love those little books, so perfect for children learning reading `decoding cvc style.

A good set of beginning reader type books but I prefer the read write inc set as it has a more systematic approach in helping kids (3-4 yo) with reading by phonics.

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.
