This review is from: Spongebob Squarepants Phonics Box (Paperback)

I brought these books into my struggling first grade readers and they LOVED them. Sure, sure -- Dr. Seuss would be best -- but sometimes a teacher needs to take what she/he can get. My kids will ask me when I'm going to "let" them read Spongebob again. The phonics are fairly sound and almost all children in your classroom will have a schema for Spongebob. If you believe any reading is good reading -- bring these titles into your early primary classroom.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a true phonics reader, July 15, 2006

This review is from: Spongebob Squarepants Phonics Box (Paperback)

These books contain difficult blends and sight words from the earliest book. Making it very difficult for children who are truly just learning each sound. By the time a child is able to read some of the difficult content in these books, they probably no longer need to worry or think about what a short a and a long a is, because they are more fluent readers.
A waste of money for what I wanted it for.

1.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs down from parents of a beginning reader, November 25, 2007

This review is from: Spongebob Squarepants Phonics Box (Paperback)

We have a 5 yr old who is in kindergarten. I bought this Spongebob set because it said phonics reader. I am disappointed-- this is not for a beginning reader. Too many difficult words- doesn't really follow a true phonics reader format I don't think. It will probably be another year or two before he can really read this book.
