What can be more satisfying to a child than to close a book and say, "I read it all by myself!" This series of books for the very beginner will have children beaming with pride. Instead of relying on large print and pictures to teach children to read, Bob Books employs one of the oldest methods around: phonics. Each book focuses on a few vowel or consonant sounds and limits the story to just a few words. Bob books was developed as a step-by-step, book-by-book program to guide your child gently through the early stages of reading. Each level addresses a stage in a child's reading development: Level A introduces the alphabet with very basic three-letter words and short vowels. What's in the box? 1. Mat 2. Sam 3. Dot 4. Mac 5.
