I love these little books!  If you are looking for an easy, effective way to teach your children or students how to read, why don’t you give BOB Books a try?  Let me tell you a bit about how they work.  The very first set introduces the letters of the alphabet a few at a time.  Each book tells a very simple story using the letters as they are introduced.  The first book introduces the letters A, M, S, and T.  The sentences read “Mat sat.   Sam sat” and so on.  Each book introduces a couple new letters, thereby adding on the variety of words that can be formed. 

      Each set gradually gets more complex, introducing rules of phonics by way of using slightly bigger or more complicated words in the stories.  The pictures on each page help tell the story and are very comical, yet simple.  My kids love the pictures!

       What I love most about these books is that the first ones are so simple they inspire confidence in a kid’s reading ability.  Your child will be able to read the whole book!  Once he or she realizes they CAN read, they will want to keep going.  My 5 year old keeps a box of these books on the shelf next to her bed to practice reading during her quiet time.  It’s great because while big sister is reading away on the top bunk, she has books that she can actually read, too!
