Bob Books: Set 4 : Compound Words

Created by a teacher, Bob Books have been helping children learn to read for fifty years! This phonics-based set gives young readers the practice they need to advance to more complex words and sentences.

Developing readers will love these funny stories! Bob Books Complex Words uses many words with short vowels, but also offers practice with word endings such as -ed and -ing, digraphs such as sh and ch, consonant blends such as sp- and -st, r-controlled vowel sounds such as -ar, and select vowel combinations. The longer word counts of these silly and surprising stories help kids build reading endurance.

Inside the box you'll find:

• 8 small, hilarious, easy-to-read books: 16-24 pages each, 21-78 unique words per book, sized perfectly for little hands
• A parent guide with tips for helping your child learn to read

Each book includes:

• Repetition of words and sounds, which helps children decode the text
• Simple sentences with more complex words ("The pup was called Jumper.")
• A page reviewing the phonics skills introduced in that book
• Friendly, simple illustrations that add fun and do not distract from the words

With playful stories, silly illustrations, and a phonics approach based on Science of Reading research, Bob Books keep young readers' confidence high, leading to continued success and a love of reading. Your child will soon join the millions of happy kids who say, "I read the whole book!"®
