Bob Books - Complex Words Box Set Phonics, Ages 4 and Up, Kindergarten, First Grade (Stage 3: Developing Reader) by Maslen, Bobby Lynn

Created by a teacher, Bob Books have been helping children learn to read for more than forty years! This phonics-based set gives young readers the practice they need to advance to more complex words and sentences.

With playful stories, silly illustrations, and a phonics approach based on Science of Reading research, Bob Books keep young readers' confidence high, leading to continued success and a love of reading. Your child will soon join the millions of happy kids who say, "I read the whole book!"(R)

Developing readers will love these fun stories! While Bob Books Complex Words still uses short vowels and repetition to keep the text decodable, the longer books in this phonics-based learn-to-read set introduce more complex words, new long vowel teams, and word endings such as -ed and -ly. The playful stories engage kids and provide a new challenge to advance their skills.

Inside the box you'll find:

• 8 small, hilarious, easy-to-read books: 16-24 pages each, 12-78 unique words per book, sized perfectly for little hands
• A parent guide with tips for helping your child learn to read

Each book includes:

• Repetition of words and sounds, which helps children decode the text
• Simple sentences with more complex words ("Jim slipped into the pond.")
• A list of new consonant blends and vowel combinations introduced in that book
• Friendly, simple illustrations that add fun and do not distract from the words
