From the Author-
Whereas the short vowels (a, e, i, o and u) are the original stars in Bob Books Sets 1 - 4, readers who have advanced all the way to Set 5 begin learning long vowels, the fascinating new stars of the alphabet. These two new concepts stimulate your reader by opening the door to longer stories and more complex spellings: The silent, magic e at the end of a word makes the vowel say its own name. For instance, mat becomes mate. Sam becomes same. Can you think of other words that are changed by the magic e ? It s a game! When two vowels go walking, the first does the talking. This means: When two vowels team up as a pair, the first vowel says its own name as in, train, rain, coat or boat.
Titles in Set 5 include The Game, Joe s Toe, and The Train. Two use the magic e , one follows the walking rule. It s really exciting to see young kids understand these new rules and then put them into action. Set 5 includes the most complex words and sentences of any of the Bob Books series, building upon earlier reading skills learned in Bob Books Sets 1 4. Once your child has mastered Sets 5, he or she will be ready to move on to reading chapter books. It s an exciting, transformative moment that you will share with your child. This is the magic of Bob Books! --From the Author

You've prepared your child for reading - refrigerator magnets down low and easy to reach; letter sounds taught. Your child can proudly spell his or her name. Perhaps he can identify the "stop" and "open" signs as you drive in your car. He or she is ready for the first step into reading.
Inside the colorful box, the bright red cover beckons. On the first page, the letters:
M - a - t. Your child says the sounds: mmmmm, aaa, ttt. Then, faster: "Mat." Your youngster has read his first word! "Sam", "sat" and "on" complete the vocabulary, and suddenly your child can say, "I read the whole book!(tm)" That is the magic of Bob Books.
After 13 years of teaching 3, 4 and 5-year-olds, watching a child make that giant first step into reading still thrills me. The pride in their eyes, their triumphant grasp of a difficult concept, and opening their world to the excitement of books and reading, has brought me many years of satisfaction.
Bob Books were specifically designed to facilitate that ah-ha moment, when letters first turn into words. By slowly introducing new letter sounds, using consistency and repetition, and stories that fit short attention spans, your child will quickly find his or her own ah-ha moment.
We wish your young learner much success and happiness as he or she enters the great adventure of reading.

We homeschool our boys, and we could never do it without the Bob Books. I love this one with the Long vowels, because the only Bob Books we had were for 3 letter words. Great addition to our collection.

My son is 5 and NOW can read all of the Bob books. He really loves them and we don't have to "make" him read them. I highly recommend the entire Bob Book collection.

This review is from: Bob Books Set 5- Long Vowels (Paperback)
The Bob Books series have been great for my homeschooled five year old. He has gone from just knowing his basic letter sounds to reading or attempting to read most everything he can get his hands on in about four months. These books were great for practice and building his confidence. I highly recommend the series.
