About

Created by a teacher, Bob Books have been helping children learn to read for more than forty years! This phonics-based set introduces long vowels and helps developing readers gently take the final step toward reading chapter books. Now in a sturdy hardcover!

The silly stories in Bob Books Long Vowels focus on long vowels, but also provide plenty of practice with silent e, longer words, and word endings such as -ed and -ing. The longer stories build reading endurance and expand the vocabulary of maturing readers. This set prepares kids to graduate to chapter books!
In this collection you'll find:
• 8 hilarious, easy-to-read books: 16-24 pages each, 52-129 unique words per book
• 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
• Longer sentences and stories than previous sets ("She ran as fast as she could.")
• A list of new long vowel combinations introduced in that book
• Friendly, simple illustrations that add fun and do not distract from the words

Guided Reading Levels: G, H, I Lexile Measure: 110L - 560L Bob Books Level: Stage 3
