Developed to guide your child gently through the earliest stages of reading, Bob Books were created to facilitate that ah-ha moment when letters first turn into words. By slowly introducing new letter sounds, using consistency, repetition and stories that fit short attention spans, your child will quickly find his or her way down the path of reading. Each level addresses a stage in reading development; this carefully crafted, simple, and progressive approach to learning assures children success and confidence from their very earliest reading experience. Whereas the short vowels (a, e, i, o and u) are the original stars in Bob Books Sets 1 - 4, readers who have advanced all the way to Set 5 begin learning long vowels, the fascinating new stars of the alphabet.12 books, 12 pages each.
