Bob Books - Set 3: Word Families

Review ------ From the Author A natural progression from Bob Books Sets 1 and 2, in Set 3 kids encounter stories with longer endings; y, ed, and ing. Longer words with 4 or 5 letters can still be sounded out; repetition of sounds and words throughout the books really help children succeed as well. words (listed in each book so you can point them out) become easier as children learn to anticipate words in the context of the story. Sentences are limited to one or two per page. This gentle, progressive approach really appeals to kids and builds early confidence and skills. This is the magic of Bob Books! Even after many years of teaching, watching children make that giant first step into reading still thrills me. The pride in their eyes, their triumphant grasp of a difficult concept; the sudden understanding of how blending sounds into words creates reading. It s one of the best lifelong gifts you can give a child. Now we invite your child to join over three million happy Bob Books readers, who can announce in excitement, I read the whole book! --From the Author From the Author --------------- From the Author You've prepared your child for reading - refrigerator magnets down low and easy to reach; letter sounds taught. Your child can proudly spell his or her name. Perhaps he can identify the "stop" and "open" signs as you drive in your car. He or she is ready for the next step into reading. Inside the colorful box, the bright red cover beckons. On the first page, the letters: M - a - t. Your child says the sounds: mmmmm, aaa, ttt. Then, faster: "Mat." Your youngster has read his first word! "Sam", "sat" and "on" complete the vocabulary, and suddenly your child can say, "I read the whole book!(tm)" That is the magic of Bob Books. After 13 years of teaching 3, 4 and 5-year-olds, watching a child make that giant first step into reading still thrills me. The pride in their eyes, their triumphant grasp of a difficult concept, and opening their world to the excitement of books and reading, has brought me many years of satisfaction. Bob Books were specifically designed to facilitate that ah-ha moment, when letters first turn into words. By slowly introducing new letter sounds, using consistency and repetition, and stories that fit short attention spans, your child will quickly find his or her own ah-ha moment. We wish your young learner much success and happiness as he or she enters the great adventure of reading.
