My First Bob Books Review

We have always heard and read great things about Bob Books, the #1 Learn-to-Read Program, but believed we'd have to wait awhile to try them with our own young children.

However, Bob Books has recently introduced a new category of books called My First Bob Books. We received a set of these educational and adorable books to use with Emahry and Jonathan. There are two different sets making up the My First Bob Books, including Pre-Reading Skills and the Alphabet.

In the Pre-Reading Skills Set, Sally the Circle and her friends introduce important skills that help prepare your child to begin reading. Your child will follow the adventures of Sally, Seth, and Tanner as they do the following:

~Identifying basic shapes in preparation for letter recognition
~Sorting, classifying and symbol identification to build important problem-solving skills
~Recognizing simple patterns to create awareness of letter groups and sight words
~Sequencing to strengthen the ability to predict how stories flow

The Parent Guide offers additional activities, games and tips designed to support new concepts and build a foundation for reading. The Pre-Reading Skills Set includes 12 books that are 12 pages each.

In the Alphabet Set, familiar animal friends will introduce the 26 letters of the alphabet to your child. The Alphabet Set:

~Introduces uppercase and lowercase letters
~Uses consistent initial sounds in well-known word to introduce each letter
~Presents simple, humorou stories that combine the featured letter sounds and words with hilarious pictures
~Challenges kids to find other objects with the feaured sound in the pictures

The Parent Guide offers additional teaching tips and activities to support kids’ growth and build confidence.

The set includes 12 books that are 12 pages each.

As with all Bob Books, these books are small, lightweight, and easy to read. Your kids will enjoy Bob Books and learn while they read!

You can purchase your own Bob Book Sets from our Amazon Store. Each boxed set is less than $12 making them a very frugal way to teach your children to read.
