My First BOB Books: Pre-Reading Skills

My 3 year old enjoys listening to me read about about Sally, Seth, and Tanner in this set of pre-reading books. These stories are more complicated than the beginner set of BOB Books, but that’s because these books are intended to be read by the parent to the child. Overall, I love this set and would recommend it.

My 4 year old love these and he is starting to be able to read! He even asks to use these books by name.

Rhyming and alterations etc. Listening to gain phonological awareness. If a child is NOT ready but want to be ready, probably it would be helpful

These are some of my favorite series of books to teach my students and I’ve even brought them home for my kids to help them learn to read at home. The books are high-quality, but do only have limited colors on the pictures. They are progressive reading series and typically matches the sequence of reading skills being taught in the classroom.

Love these books. They're thin paper books, which unfortunately, my toddler tore apart quickly. We love how easy BOB books are for early and new readers!

Easy to read books to help your littles. Bought these because it's what the teacher had in her kindergarten class. My kids loved that they had the same books. I used them for all my kids and then handed them another mom to use for her kids.

These books are unbelievable! Not only did they boost the confidence in my 5year old, but they are so simple yet so easy for them to learn, comprehend, and want to keep going! He was able to read his first full book within 20mins of opening the box!

My 3-year-2-month-old absolutely loves these pre-reading books. He doesn't know the alphabet reliably yet. I bought these on a whim, not sure if "prereading skills" would be something noticeably different from the other books we read, but WOW yes they are. You find some of the same pattern games in other books, but always with other distracting details or illustrations. Here the words and line drawings are simple, the pattern games are clearly and implicitly laid out, and they ratchet up gently in difficulty step by step. And my son LOVES it. He obviously loves both the challenge and the satisfaction of being able to meet a reasonable challenge gauged just right for him. He insisted on reading all 12 books at once the first time we opened the box, and carried the boxes around all evening begging for more and laying them next to his bed when he went to sleep. When he woke up the next morning we had to read them all over again. He's always enjoyed books but I would never have expected this reaction out of him!! Many thanks to the authors, if they ever see this review -- you've made my son so happy. We especially (each in our own way) love that they are not didactic -- you figure out the pattern but nobody is giving instructions or telling you what to do. I highly recommend this to other parents of littles.

Me lo habia recomendado una amiga, y acertó. Les encanta a mis hijos de 3 y 2 años. Lo recomiendo
