My First Bob Books: Pre-Reading Skills ( ISBN 978-0545019224) teaches reading foundation skills: shapes, patterns and sequencing. Each set is organized into stages: Reading Reading Readiness, Stage 1: Starting to Read, Stage 2: Emerging Reader and Stage 3: Developing Reader.
Though it is great to have extra tips of the trade when teaching reading, some of the hints in these books can be a bit confusing. For example, in the “W” book, it instructs adults to help sound out the “W” sound by saying “WUH.” While it is so common to exaggerate a letter sound this way, it can be misguided. A “W” sound does not actually include an “UH” sound in it, and it could be teaching a child to add extra letter sounds where only a single sound belongs. This is where the science of reading can become a bit complex, especially for children who are struggling with blending sounds. For adults who are less experienced with teaching reading skills, hints like this can possibly be misleading and cause more confusion for a new reader down the line. 3. Artwork
We Make Learning to Read Easy!
Based on beloved stories from Bob Books Beginning Readers, these phonics-based games will show your child how to:
Over night, the Maslens were inundated with phone calls. The books had entered the spotlight, and parents eager to help their children learn to read wanted Bob Books. “By that time we were going crazy,” Bobby Maslen says. “We knew the potential was much more than we could handle ourselves.” The Maslens turned to a major publisher of children’s books, Scholastic, Inc., for help. Today, all five sets of Bob Books written by Bobby Maslen are available to children all over the world, thanks to the partnership that was developed with Scholastic. The measured changes from one book set to the next really helps to build strong foundational skills with each step. Learning to read in this way creates fluency, which is the ultimate goal, and gives children many opportunities to have successful reading experiences and build their confidence. You can go at a gradual pace with each set to make sure that your child has gotten down each targeted skill set so that they can expand upon it as they move through the stages.
BOB Books were created by Bobby Lynn Maslen and John Maslen. While working in a preschool, Bobby began making the books for her preschoolers to learn how to read. John Maslen, an amazing water-color painter, drew the pictures. They were first published in 1976 and have now become VERY popular among beginning readers. There are even apps for the BOB Books!
