Book Reviews of Bob Books Set 2-Advancing Beginners
Book Review: My son feels like a big boy
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these books because my son loves to read. He has been reading simple "stories" that I write on the computer but never real books of his own. When these came he just whizzed through the first series. I took them to his Kindergarden class because they were too easy for him. One to Series 2 and 3. These offered a bit more challenge and he loves them.
The stories really aren't that interesting. I believe he would agree. Each night he gets to read a book to me then I read a book to him. He feels much more involved in bedtime storytime.
Great series.
Book Review: rip off
Summary: 2 Stars
So, while we loved the first set - my four year old quickly progressed through the entire set, it seems that the format of the sets has suddenly changed so that the first set being sold has fewer books and the missing books comprise the first half of the second set. So now, I either have to buy a set that is half books we already own, or else we have to skip to the next set and my daughter will miss out on the lessons taught in the last half of the books in the new second set. This is just wrong. So, we are going to have to find a new reading program.Book Review: Helped my kids tremendously
Summary: 5 Stars
I used bob books to teach my kids to read. I have 2 girls, who are now 5 & 8. Both started reading their 1st bob book when they were 3.5 yrs old, and took 1.5 years to from from Set 1 Book 1 to Set 5's last book "The King". And voila -- at age 5, they started reading "regular" books. I am forever going to be grateful to bob books for teaching my kids to read !!!
The books gently introduced diff sounds and gradually moved to the more complex stuff. I have a friend whose kid just turned 4, and I gave them Sets 1-3 as a gift.
Book Review: WARNING--These are the "old" Bob Books!
Summary: 2 Stars
I can't believe they don't tell you this on Amazon, but this is the "old" original Bob set. I bought set 1 from Costco and loved them so then ordered set 2 from here. Totally different--half the size, so harder to manipulate and smaller print, but the worst is that the first 5 books are *included* in the new and improved set 1, so basically, if you have a large size Set 1, you already have over half these books.
Overall, Bob books are great and helped my 4.5 y/o to learn to read, but go with the larger sets, not these.
Book Review: Bob Books Set 2
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't sure how my 4 year old would respond to the simple nature of the Bob books. She loves complex stories and pretty pictures. However, she surprised me and loves these books. She is flying through them and feeling success with each new book we try. I think the satisfaction of being able to "read it alone" is more satisfying than a book with pretty pictures. I would recommend these to anyone who has a child who wants to read on their own! This is a great place to start the journey.
