First published in 1976 Bob Books have been used by millions of beginning readers and have long been a staple in the home school community. Each pint-sized story is carefully crafted to help young children master essential reading skills. Fully phonics based, these books focus on decoding, identifying each letter of the alphabet and their specific sounds.

Developed as a step-by-step, book-by-book program to guide your children smoothly through the beginning stages of reading, this simple, progressive approach, can be a valuable stepping-stone for children who are mastering phonics but still too shaky to attempt basal readers.

Beginning with repetitive simple single-consonant two word sentences each book builds on the skills and vocabulary from the last book.

Why do children like Bob Books?

First, these time-honored book are not only are sized just right for little hands, but the stories are also short and sweet. In fact, the very first book is a mere 22 words told over 8 pages. Yet there is great satisfaction for your youngster as he completes his very first book.

Secondly, these lighthearted books contain a bit of wacky mischief. In the first book overweight Mat sits on cone-shaped Sam, an action that has not failed to amuse children for over 30 years.  

Finally, because of the simple text and clean cartoon-type illustrations children who are easily prone to distractions will have an easier time focusing and ultimately mastering phonics.

Each set of books contains a card with an introduction to the series and 10 to 12 parental teaching tips and stores neatly in reclosable boxes.

Great value April 9, 2009
Reviewer: Tracey Tillson from Wilmore, KY United States  
While we borrowed some of these from our local library, our kids liked them so much that we eventually bought three sets.   Our second child needed a little more phonics reinforcement and these did the trick and were fun at the same time.  I'd highly recommend them.

Reviewer: Linda Hensz from Narrowsburg, NY United States  
We used these little booklets along w/ Pathway Readers and Teach your Child to Read in 100 easy lessons. Thats it! They learned how to read very well w/o a formal Phonics Curriculum. They thought they were great fun!!!!
