Book Reviews of Bob Books Set 2-Advancing Beginners
Book Review: Training the Brain
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a Special Education teacher. I help children with learning disabilities (K-5) learn to read. I don't think there are words for how highly I want to reccommend these books to parents and other educators. These books are PHONICS based and they are systematic and sequential. They help train a child's brain to see the patterns in the english language. Learning these patterns is how children learn to read. Other reviews have slammed these books for being boring and low interest. Are they the most exciting and engaging books ever? No, not really. Will they help your child/student learn to read? YES, they will. And the stories have enough content that I am able to monitor comprehension with questions such as "Who was this story about?", "Why did the fox try to hide when he saw the hen?", and "How do you think the animals felt when they saw the fox?". But most importantly, it is just such a thrill to see that expression of astonished pride on the child's face when they finish reading the book to you all by themselves. It's that bewildered sense of accomplishment that makes my students willing to take on new challenges and continue improving their reading skills.Book Review: My son loves these books
Summary: 5 Stars
We were recommended the BOB Books set by the book The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home (Third Edition). We are homeschooling and are using the BOB Books along with The Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading to teach my five-year-old how to read.
He really loves these books. They are not at all intimidating. They increase in complexity step by step. He also feels so happy that they are in a cute little box, and he actually takes good care of the books because of the box.
He is so excited each time he receives a new set of the books. His little sister is also excited about the BOB books.
I highly recommend these books!
Book Review: The perfect way to teach reading
Summary: 5 Stars
I am on my third child teaching them with Bob books. I have taught all three to read before they entered kindergarten. Best thing I ever did. My older two are quite a bit older and are in the top reading groups. My oldest is in an entire grade above in reading level. It is a great gift to have your kids enter school at the top of their class. Bob books pace kids perfectly. This book is a bit longer sentences, sometimes more than one sentence per page. Perfect. I can't say enough about these books. I would reccommend using them just as they are,in order, without skipping. THey are reasonably priced and it's worth the money to have your kid have strong reading skills forever more.Book Review: Can't go wrong with Bob...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is our first try at Bob Books and I'm pleased with the results. My daughter LOVES to read and I'm sure this series has a lot to do with it. The words are very easy and the pace is appropriate for preschool children. These books are a complement to the Hooked on Phonics program we're doing as I wanted something new to "challenge" her. My four year old is breezing through set 2, so I'm excited about sets 3-5. I will say these types of books can be gotten from your local library, but at least with Bob Books you can pace your child's progression as the library books are all mixed together from different publishers. Bob Books makes it easy for me and the price is affordable.Book Review: Highly Recommend
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter has been reading words for a few months, all short vowels, and we started with the Bob Books set 1 and she loved them. We were ready to continue reading but werent ready for so many new challenges. My daughter loves this set because it stays true to the short vowel reading she knows and includes some new things such as 's and !. We continue to like the fact that it is a shorter book and is able to give her a sense of accomplishment and it doesnt give away the words in the pictures that some books do. This is just the right step for that new reader and mastering the short vowels.
