Review: Wonderful first step into reading, great construct, love how the sets build on each other - We love this set. We have two other sets of early readers books and have to say that this Bob Books and the Beginning Readers Bob Books sets have proven to be favorites with a child who is just learning to read. The first book our little read was from Rhonda's Readers and was quite small. It was a perfect first step. As we continued, I found these sets seem to be the ones LO goes back to over and over. They are in a box, which I honestly think ups the appeal for LO, though they are also a great length with just the right amount of words on each page. I also like that there is a page in the beginning that tells which main sounds will be worked on in that book. This allows littles the opportunity to focus a bit and know what is coming, to a certain extent. I think it helps to know there are limits to what they will be asked to do, yet the pages are challenging enough to make them work to read. There are not too many words on each page and the books build as you move through the set and into the other available sets. We are very happy with these books and saw an immediate increase in reading interest when we get them. Highly recommend.

So proud!
My step daughter is in kindergarten , she has been working on sight words but doesnโt read at her moms house. My daughter is in 1st grade and reads every night so my step daughter was very interested in trying to read but couldnโt read the books my daughter has , so I ordered these to get her started on reading. She was soooooo excited when she got to our house and the books were there waiting for her to read. We opened them right away and she wanted to read them all in one sitting because she was so excited. We read 2 per sitting so she doesnโt get overwhelmed . Some days she wants to read 2-3 times through out the day. Iโm so glad I got these! She loves them and is really learning quickly. Easy enough but also slight challenge for her which is perfect for a new reader !

Great for little learners
I love how simple these books are, just wish they had more of a storyline. The quality of the books themselves are great and love how there are specific levels and they build up.

Great starter pack
I think the books are great for grassroot learning. And the word repetition is a big tick to help kids identify words as they go along.
