Bob Books: Rhyming Words Paperback – Box set, June 25, 2013

Bob books are always great at teaching kids how to read with great skills, as in this. It teaches kids how to rhyme words.

These books contain fun stories that are enjoyable for beginning readers.

Great series that captures rhyming words.

Good buy

Simple illustration, great small books to take on the go and used at restaurants, while teaching kindergarten to read

Bob's books are certainly a go to product for earlier readers. My son managed to make it through kindergarten while completely missing the concept of rhymes. Bob's did all that they could. He still struggles ! These sets break down the concept with fun puzzles and decodeable short stories.

We love the Bob books and are following them in the order on the back of the box. This one comes after the Level 2 books but seems to be about the same as far as difficulty goes. We love the BOB books because they have more words that or son can decode independently than the readers that he is bringing home from school. He is in Kindergarten and has been able to sound out 3 letter words with short vowel sounds and knows about 100 sight words (the, is, like, what,...) and this set in particular has been great for reinforcing and practicing. There are a few 4 letter words with blended consonants and he is able to navigate them. The level 1 or level 2 readers that he gets at school and the ones we have bought from the school book sales are FULL of big, non-phonetic words. I guess they figure that kids can generally guess what the big words are by looking at the pictures. I don't like that, though, because it encourages guessing instead of decoding.... so we much prefer these BOB books. This one comes with some cards for changing a word by changing the first letter. They are nice enough, but my son has been able to do that for a while (we just used fridge magnets) so they were too easy.

These books are awesome! My son started reading these from the beginning set. I attribute his love of reading to these books. He reads them all over and over again too which is awesome. My 2 year old daughter has been following in his footsteps and also loves these books. Well written with very cute illustrations my kids love. They also have great customer service. You can email them directly on the Bob Books website and they respond very quickly. Great books from a great company!
